Where should I hang a large painted wood mirror?

Large painted wood mirrors suit principal living spaces, hallways, or bedrooms where their scale can anchor the room. Positioning them opposite a window maximises natural light distribution. Ensure the wall construction supports the considerable weight of timber and gesso frames. Secure them using appropriate heavy-duty fixings matched to the wall type.

How do I care for antique painted wood frames?

Dust the carved and painted surfaces gently with a dry, soft cloth to prevent particulate buildup. Avoid chemical cleaners or excessive moisture that might compromise historic paint layers. Keep the mirrors away from direct heat sources and dramatic humidity fluctuations. Stable environmental conditions protect the underlying wood and gesso from warping or cracking.

What is the difference between wall and cheval mirrors?

Wall mirrors mount directly onto vertical surfaces, serving as architectural focal points above furniture or on open walls. They remain fixed in position once installed. Cheval mirrors are freestanding floor pieces that tilt within a stable wooden frame. They allow users to adjust the viewing angle and move the entire unit across a room.

Are these mirror frames made of solid wood?

The structural elements consist of timber frames, often enhanced with applied gesso and carved wooden details. This combination provides the necessary strength to support heavy glass plates. Different periods utilise various woods beneath the gesso and paint layers, depending on regional workshop practices and the desired weight of the finished object.
