Dealers Notes

Our stock includes early oak and walnut furniture from the 18th century, as well as more formal pieces from the Georgian period. Clocks, barometers and globes are complemented by Colonial cabinets, furniture and early arms. Their scientific instruments, which include early microscopes, telescopes and equipment such as sextants, provide a fascinating insight into the evolution of technology, whilst demonstrating fine artistry and craftsmanship. One of Hansord’s many exhibitions was entitled ‘From simplicity to complexity with a little eccentricity’ and this continues to be the guiding mantra behind their collection today.

FAQs

Giltwood mirrors from the late 18th century were heavily influenced by the Rococo and Neoclassical movements, featuring intricate hand-carved wooden frames coated in thin layers of gold leaf to reflect candlelight and display elite status.

These pieces typically utilised softwoods such as pine or gesso-coated hardwoods for the carved frames, combined with hand-silvered mercury or early silver-nitrate glass plates held in place with wooden backing boards.

Authenticity is determined by inspecting the hand-carved gesso details, the presence of foxing or oxidisation on the original glass plate, hand-cut joinery on the reverse, and the natural ageing of the bole underneath the gold leaf.

An ornate gilded mirror creates a striking focal point when contrasted against minimalist modern walls, or it can be paired with classic period features to add depth and historical character to a room.

Preserve the fragile gold leaf and gesso by keeping the mirror away from direct sunlight and high humidity, dusting gently with a dry, soft brush, and avoiding chemical cleaning agents entirely.
