The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

Designed to sit directly above a fireplace mantelpiece, Victorian overmantel mirrors became prominent in 19th-century interiors to reflect light and enhance the architectural proportions of formal reception rooms.

These mirrors were constructed using solid hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, or walnut, often featuring hand-carved decorative motifs, plaster moulding, and silvered or mercurial plate glass mirrors.

Authentic Victorian overmantel mirrors typically feature heavy timber framing, original glass with natural age-related foxing, hand-carved foliate details, and hand-cut wooden backing boards.

Position the mirror directly above a fireplace surround or low console table to create an architectural focal point, pairing the rich mahogany and painted detail with neutral wall tones or contemporary artwork.

Dust the carved frame regularly with a soft microfibre cloth, apply a natural beeswax paste to unpainted timber surfaces, and clean the glass using a lightly dampened cloth without applying liquids directly to the frame joints.
