Eglomisé mirrors, featuring gilded or painted designs on the back of the glass, require specific care to preserve their unique beauty.
Here's how to properly care for them:
Environment and handling:
-Stable Environment: Maintain a stable environment with controlled humidity and temperature to prevent damage to the delicate gilding and paint.
-Avoid Direct Sunlight: Direct sunlight can fade the paint and gilding over time.
-Careful Handling: Handle the glass carefully to prevent scratches or cracks.
-Avoid the Back: Be cautious when handling or cleaning the back of the mirror, as this is where the delicate églomisé work is applied and may not have a protective layer in some antique pieces.
Cleaning:
-Gentle Cleaning: Clean the glass surface gently using a soft, dry cloth or a slightly dampened cloth with water.
-No Harsh Chemicals: Never use harsh chemicals, abrasive materials, or ammonia-based cleaners as these can damage the gilded or painted designs and the mirror's silvering.
-Denatured Alcohol: Denatured alcohol can be used for cleaning the glass surface, applying it to a lint-free cloth, not directly to the glass.
-Microfiber Cloth: Use a soft, non-abrasive microfiber cloth to avoid leaving behind fibers or scratching the surface.
-Test Cleaning Solutions: If you're unsure about a cleaning solution, test it on a small, inconspicuous area first.
-Dry Thoroughly: After cleaning with a damp cloth, gently pat the surface dry with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth.
