FAQs

Overmantel mirrors rose to prominence in the 18th and 19th centuries, specifically designed to be hung above fireplace mantels to reflect candlelight and amplify light in period reception rooms.

These pieces typically feature a carved wooden frame coated in gesso before being finished with gold leaf or metal leaf gilding, often housing hand-silvered glass plates.

Authenticity is indicated by period-appropriate joinery, traditional gesso application showing genuine craquelure or wear, and historical backing boards secured with old fixings.

Pairing an ornate gilded frame with minimalist modern furniture creates a striking focal point, balancing traditional craftsmanship with clean, contemporary lines.

Dust the frame gently with a soft, dry brush and clean the mirror glass with a non-ammonia cleaner applied to a cloth rather than directly to the surface to protect the fragile gilt finish.
