FAQs

Nineteenth-century French mirrors are characterised by elaborate carved wooden frames finished with gesso and gold leaf, often featuring classical motifs such as ribbons, floral garlands, and crests.

These frames were typically constructed from pine or hardwood, coated with layers of gesso, and meticulously hand-carved before being water-gilded or oil-gilded with gold leaf.

Authenticity is determined by inspecting the hand-carved detailing, the presence of aged gesso with natural craquelure, original mercury or silvered mirror plates with foxing, and traditional joinery on the reverse.

Placing a large gilded mirror in a modern setting creates a dramatic focal point, reflects natural light, and adds a layer of historical contrast against minimalist architectural elements.

Maintain the piece by dusting the frame gently with a soft, dry brush and cleaning the glass with a lint-free cloth and neutral glass cleaner, avoiding harsh chemicals that could damage the antique finish.
