FAQs

Nineteenth-century French mirrors are characterised by traditional hand-carved wooden frames finished with applied gesso and silver leaf or silvering techniques, often featuring distinctive shaped upper corners and classic proportions.

These pieces typically utilise a sturdy timber base, such as pine or hardwood, coated in fine layers of gesso to create smooth relief details, which are then finished with metallic leaf or silvering solutions.

Authenticity is indicated by the presence of hand-mixed gesso shrinkage cracks, foxing or oxidisation within the original mercury or silvered glass plate, and period-appropriate joinery on the reverse.

Positioning the mirror above a contemporary sideboard or mounting it directly on a painted wall creates a striking juxtaposition between historical texture and clean, modern minimalist lines.

Maintain the piece by avoiding direct sunlight, keeping it away from excessive moisture, and dusting the frame gently with a dry, soft brush while cleaning the glass with a non-ammonia solution applied to a cloth.
