FAQs

An overmantel mirror is a large architectural mirror designed to sit directly above a fireplace mantelpiece, originating in the 17th century and expanding in popularity through the 19th century to enhance room proportions and reflect natural light.

Period gilt mirrors were constructed with a solid timber core covered in sculpted gesso plaster, which was then decorated with fine gold leaf applied through water or oil gilding techniques.

Authentic pieces exhibit light age-related foxing to the original mirror glass, evidence of dark red bole or white gesso showing through worn gilding, and hand-cut wooden backing boards.

Position the mirror centrally above a living room fireplace hearth or a dining room sideboard to create an elegant focal point that maximizes spatial brightness.

Dust the frame gently using a soft dry brush, avoiding water, liquid cleaners, or damp cloths which can dissolve delicate gesso and lift gold leafing.
