FAQs

French giltwood mirrors feature wooden frames coated in fine layers of gold leaf or gesso, heavily influenced by the ornate aesthetics of the Louis XIV, Rococo, and Neoclassical periods.

Authentic pieces are typically constructed from carved softwoods or hardwoods, coated with multiple layers of gesso, smoothed, and hand-gilded with gold leaf or finished with metallic powder.

Authentication involves examining the composition of the gesso, the ageing and oxidisation patterns of the mercury or silvered glass plate, and the hand-carved tool marks on the reverse of the wooden frame.

An antique gilt mirror works effectively as a statement piece when hung above a modern fireplace or leaned casually against a plain wall to create a juxtaposition between historic craftsmanship and minimalist decor.

Giltwood frames should be gently dusted with a soft dry brush, avoiding all liquids and chemical cleaners which can strip the delicate gold leaf, while the glass can be cleaned with a mild glass cleaner applied to a cloth rather than sprayed directly.
