FAQs

Overmantel mirrors gained prominence during the 18th and 19th centuries, specifically designed to be hung above a fireplace mantelpiece to reflect candlelight and natural daylight into period reception rooms.

Authentic period mirrors typically feature a carved wooden frame, often gesso-coated and layered with gold leaf or gilt paint, housing hand-silvered sheet glass secured with traditional wooden backing panels and original fixings.

Key indicators of age include foxing and oxidation within the mercury or silver backing of the glass, hand-cut joinery in the frame, weight inconsistencies typical of dense older timbers, and period-appropriate hand-carved decorative motifs.

Positioning an ornate gilt frame above a traditional fireplace hearth or mounting it on a plain painted wall creates a striking focal point, balancing contemporary minimalism with historical texture and warmth.

Dust the gilded surfaces gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding chemical cleaning agents and excessive moisture which can damage delicate gesso, gold leaf, and historical glass.
