FAQs

The French Empire style emerged in the early 19th century during the reign of Napoleon I, drawing heavy inspiration from the classical antiquity of Greece and Rome, characterised by monumental proportions, dark mahogany woods, and symmetrical military or classical motifs.

These pieces typically feature dense hardwood foundations such as mahogany or mahogany veneer over pine, often accented with cast or gilded brass mounts, mercury-silvered glass plates, and heavy architectural cornices.

Authentication involves examining the plate glass for hand-beveled edges or mercury backing irregularities, inspecting the joinery for hand-cut screws or traditional pegging, and verifying that the gilt-bronze or ormolu mounts are cast rather than stamped.

Positioning the mirror above a contemporary fireplace or against a neutral wall allows its dark timber and classical lines to act as a sophisticated focal point, contrasting clean modern lines with historic depth.

Maintain these items by dusting regularly with a soft, dry cloth, avoiding chemical cleaning agents on the timber and original gilt mounts, and keeping them away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity to prevent veneer cracking.
