FAQs

An overmantel mirror is a large decorative looking-glass specifically designed to be hung or placed on the mantelpiece above a fireplace, originating prominently in 18th and 19th-century interior architecture.

These frames are typically constructed from carved timber, such as pine or softwood, layered with hand-applied gesso and carved wooden ornamentation, often finished with gilding, paint, or antiqued patination.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit period-correct joinery, foxing and oxidisation within the mirror plate, hand-carved details, and layered gesso showing age-appropriate craquelure and wear.

Positioning the mirror above a fireplace or anchoring it freestanding against a living room wall creates an impactful focal point that enhances natural light and adds architectural depth to contemporary spaces.

Clean the glass sparingly with a soft, lint-free cloth and mild cleaner, avoiding chemical contact with the wooden frame and gesso to prevent degradation of the historic finish.
