FAQs

Dust the frame gently with a dry, soft-bristled brush, avoiding chemical cleaners or excess moisture which can strip or damage the delicate gesso and gold leaf layers.

Positioning the mirror above a fireplace or a sideboard creates a focal point, contrasting traditional ornamentation with clean-lined contemporary furnishings to add depth and luminosity.

Authentic pieces often display hand-carved detailing, original mercury or early silvered glass with foxing and oxidisation, and pine or hardwood secondary backing boards secured with period fixings.

These mirrors typically feature a carved wooden frame coated in gessoa plaster-like mixturebefore being water-gilded or oil-gilded with genuine gold leaf.

Overmantel mirrors gained prominence during the 18th and 19th centuries, specifically designed to be hung directly above a fireplace mantelpiece to reflect candlelight and natural daylight into the room.
