FAQs

Overmantel mirrors gained immense popularity during the nineteenth century, traditionally designed to be hung specifically above fireplace mantels to reflect candlelight and maximise natural light within period reception rooms.

Authentic pieces are typically crafted from carved wood or composition ornament applied to a wooden base, finished with hand-applied gold leaf or gilt paint, and fitted with original hand-silvered sheet glass.

Authenticity is indicated by historical construction markers such as hand-bevelled or mercurial glass with characteristic foxing, peg-joined wooden frames, and aged backing boards secured with old flat-head screws.

Positioning a large gilt mirror above a fireplace or anchoring it on a blank wall creates an impactful focal point, successfully contrasting ornate historical craftsmanship with modern minimalist furnishings.

Gilded surfaces require delicate maintenance using a dry, soft feather duster or microfiber cloth, strictly avoiding chemical cleaners, abrasive cloths, or excessive moisture that can damage the fragile gold leaf.
