FAQs

Overmantel mirrors gained prominence during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, specifically designed to be hung or placed upon the mantelpiece above a fireplace to reflect candlelight and natural light around the room.

These frames are typically constructed from carved wood, such as pine or gesso-coated softwoods, which were then gilded with gold leaf applied over a bole layer.

Authentic pieces often exhibit original mercury or early silvered glass with characteristic foxing and oxidisation, alongside hand-carved details and traditional joinery construction on the reverse.

Placing the mirror above a fireplace or console table creates a dramatic focal point that enhances spatial depth and balances modern minimalist furnishings with historical texture.

Gilt surfaces should be dusted extremely gently with a dry, soft feather duster and kept away from direct sunlight, moisture, and chemical cleaning agents to prevent degradation of the delicate gold leaf.
