Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

An oval overmantel mirror from the 19th century is an elliptical hanging mirror designed to sit above a fireplace hearth or sideboard, featuring carved frames with gilding or painted finishes standard in period European interiors.

Traditional 19th-century mirror frames were constructed from wooden bases coated in gesso plaster, which was then finished with gold leafing or paint before housing silvered glass.

Authentic period pieces display subtle wear to the gold leaf, age-related oxidation or foxing on the glass surface, and plaster gesso visible beneath distressed areas of the frame.

Position the mirror centrally above a modern mantelpiece or console table to reflect light and act as an architectural focal point, pairing metallic highlights against contemporary wall paint.

Dust the frame lightly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or feather duster, avoiding liquids, wax polish, or chemical spray cleaners that can degrade the delicate gesso and leaf finish.
