FAQs

French giltwood mirrors are characterised by intricately carved wooden frames coated in thin gold leaf, often featuring classical motifs such as scrolls, acanthus leaves, and asymmetric rococo flourishes popular during the 18th and 19th centuries.

Authentic pieces are typically constructed from carved softwoods or hardwoods such as oak or pine, coated with a layer of gesso, and meticulously hand-gilded with gold leaf. The glass is often silvered using historical techniques, such as mercury backing in older examples.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the backboards, hand-cut joinery, the presence of oxidation or foxing in the mercury glass, and the depth and texture of the hand-applied gesso and gold leaf layers.

Placing a large gilt mirror leaning casually against a wall creates a sense of scale and light in contemporary spaces, juxtaposing ornate historical craftsmanship with minimalist architectural backdrops.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and avoid harsh commercial cleaning agents or excessive moisture, which can damage the delicate gold leaf and historical silvering on the glass.
