FAQs

Nineteenth-century French mirrors frequently draw upon Rococo and Neoclassical design vocabularies, characterised by asymmetrical scrollwork, floral motifs, and prominent crestings designed to reflect light and enhance spatial grandeur.

These frames are typically constructed from carved softwoods or hardwoods coated in layers of gesso, which is then meticulously hand-gilded with silver leaf or mixed metal leaf before being burnished.

Authenticity is indicated by historical construction markers such as hand-cut pinned joints in the wooden frame, heavy oxidisation or foxing on the original mercury or silvered glass plate, and crazing within the gesso layer.

Positioning a large antique mirror opposite a light source maximises illumination, while leaning it casually against a wall introduces a deliberate contrast between classical ornamentation and minimalist architecture.

Dust the frame gently with a dry, soft-bristled brush, avoiding all commercial cleaning liquids, abrasive cloths, or moisture, which can permanently lift the delicate silver leaf and gesso ground.
