The Louis Philippe style emerged in France during the mid-19th century, characterised by a blend of simplified neoclassical lines and restrained ornamentation, typically featuring rounded top corners and subtle applied motifs.

These pieces are generally constructed from a carved wooden base, often gessoed and finished with gold leaf or gilt paint, combined with hand-silvered glass plates featuring bevelled edges.

Authentic period pieces often display natural ageing such as foxing on the mercury glass, hand-carved joinery at the corners, and an underlying gesso layer showing wear beneath the oxidised gold leaf.

Positioning the mirror above a modern fireplace mantel or leaning it against a minimalist wall creates a striking juxtaposition between ornate historical craftsmanship and clean architectural lines.

Dust the frame gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth and avoid using chemical solvents or moisture, which can damage the delicate gold leaf and historical gesso.
