FAQs

Classical style mirrors from this period draw heavy inspiration from ancient Greek and Roman architecture, featuring symmetrical proportions, architectural motifs such as columns and friezes, and classical figural reliefs.

These pieces typically feature a carved wooden or composition (compo) frame built over a pine or hardwood substrate, coated in gesso, and finished with fine gold leaf applied by hand.

Authenticity is usually determined by inspecting the hand-carved or moulded compo details, the presence of genuine gold leaf rather than modern metallic paint, foxing or oxidisation within the silvering of the old glass plates, and traditional joinery on the reverse timber frame.

Positioning such a mirror above a fireplace adds instant architectural weight and reflects natural light, serving as a focal point that contrasts effectively against clean, minimalist modern walls.

Gilded surfaces are exceptionally fragile and sensitive to moisture; they should be dusted very gently with a dry, soft ostrich feather duster, avoiding all chemical cleaners, water, and abrasive cloths to protect the delicate gold leaf.
