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

A Victorian overmantel mirror is a wide wall mirror specifically engineered to sit directly above a fireplace mantelpiece, popularised during the nineteenth century to reflect candlelight and extend visual room proportions.

These frames were typically constructed using pine or lime wood bases coated in gesso plaster, which were then layered with micro-thin gold leaf and fitted with silvered mirror glass.

Authentic period examples commonly display original porcelain baseline feet, hand-applied gold leaf with subtle wear to the underlying gesso, and cast plaster scroll flourishes at the bottom corners.

Mount the mirror centrally above a living room fireplace or place it atop a dining room credenza to anchor the space and bounce natural illumination across the interior.

Dust the delicate gilded surface using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding water, liquid detergents, or chemical polishes that strip historic gold leaf and gesso.
