FAQs

Overmantel mirrors gained prominence during the 18th and 19th centuries, designed specifically to be hung above a fireplace mantel to reflect candlelight and natural daylight, thereby enhancing room illumination and creating a sense of expanded space.

These mirrors typically feature a hand-carved wooden base overlaid with gessoa mixture of plaster of Paris and chalkwhich is then meticulously moulded into decorative motifs and finished with thin sheets of metallic leaf such as silver or gold.

Authentic period pieces exhibit signs of age such as foxing or silver degradation within the mirror plate, hand-cut joinery on the wooden frame, and subtle irregularities in the hand-applied gesso and leaf finish.

Pairing a highly decorative antique mirror with minimalist, modern furniture creates a balanced juxtaposition, adding architectural depth, texture, and a focal point to a room without overwhelming the design.

Dust the frame gently with a soft, dry brush and avoid chemical cleaning agents, moisture, or direct sunlight, which can destabilise the delicate gesso ground and discolour the metallic leaf finish.
