How should I clean antique mirror glass?

Clean the glass surface using a soft microfibre cloth slightly dampened with distilled water or a mild glass cleaner. Spray the cloth rather than the mirror to prevent liquid seeping behind the silvering. Avoid getting moisture on the giltwood or painted frame surrounds. Harsh chemicals will damage historic metallic leaf finishes.

Are these mirrors suitable for bathrooms?

Historic frames constructed from wood and gesso react poorly to high humidity and direct steam. Placing them in damp environments risks cracking the gesso and lifting the gold leaf. Dry reception rooms, hallways, and bedrooms provide a stable climate for preservation. Proper placement protects the antique materials from moisture damage.

How do I identify a Florentine frame?

Florentine frames display dense, pierced wooden carving dominated by acanthus leaves and scrollwork. They typically lack square corners, presenting an organic, flowing outline. Gold leaf application over gesso is standard for this regional style. They range from small vanity pieces to large overmantle proportions.
