FAQs

The Adam style is a neoclassical architectural and furniture design movement from the 18th century, characterised by symmetrical geometry, classical motifs such as urns and swags, and refined elegance, which was later revived during the Victorian era.

These pieces are typically constructed from a carved wooden base, often pine or gesso over wood, which is then covered in gold leaf or gold paint to achieve the characteristic metallic finish.

Authentication involves examining the reverse for age-related timber shrinkage, inspecting the silvering on the glass plates for foxing and oxidisation, and checking the construction joints and hand-carved gesso details.

Positioning the mirror above a fireplace or a sideboard reflects natural light and enhances room proportions, pairing effectively with both traditional antiques and minimalist modern furnishings to create contrast.

Gilded surfaces require very gentle dusting with a soft, dry ostrich feather brush or microfibre cloth, avoiding any moisture, chemical solvents, or abrasive cleaners which can strip the delicate gold leaf.
