FAQs

Nineteenth-century French mirrors are characterised by classical proportions, carved wooden frames treated with gesso, and gold leaf applications that reflect period aesthetics ranging from Neoclassical to Louis Philippe designs.

Authentic pieces typically feature a carved softwood or hardwood base covered in a layer of gesso, which is then gilded with gold leaf or metal leaf, housing a silvered glass plate with traditional foxing.

Authenticity is determined by examining the backboards, hand-carved details, the presence of genuine gesso cracking, and natural oxidisation or foxing within the mercury or silvered mirror plate.

Leaning an oversized gilt mirror against a living room or hallway wall introduces vertical scale, reflects natural light, and creates a striking contrast against minimalist modern furnishings.

Giltwood surfaces should be cleaned exclusively with a dry, soft microfibre cloth to prevent moisture damage, avoiding chemical sprays that can lift or dissolve the delicate gesso and gold leaf layer.
