Overmantle mirrors gained immense popularity during the 19th century, designed specifically to hang above a fireplace mantelpiece to reflect light and enhance the sense of space within a room.

These pieces typically feature a solid timber framework, frequently utilising decorative veneers such as yew or burl wood, accented with hand-gilded plaster or wooden mouldings surrounding segmented glass plates.

Authentic period pieces often exhibit hand-beveled or segmented glass with minor foxing, traditional joinery at the corners, and aged timber backing boards secured with old fixings.

Placing the mirror above a fireplace or a large sideboard creates a striking focal point, anchoring contemporary furnishings with historical character and warmth.

Dust the frame gently with a dry microfiber cloth and clean the glass using a minimal amount of glass cleaner applied directly to the cloth rather than the mirror to protect the antique wooden frame and gilt finishes.
