FAQs

A Georgian triptych overmantel mirror features a wide horizontal frame split into three glass panels, designed to hang above a fireplace mantlepiece. These mirrors display neoclassical details such as fluted friezes, carved motifs, and gilded timber construction.

Craftsmen constructed these frames from carved pine or lime wood, applying a gesso layer before laying fine gold leaf over a coloured clay base called bole. The mirror plates were silvered using a traditional tin and mercury amalgam.

Authentic period pieces exhibit characteristic wear, such as gentle oxidisation on the mirror plates, hand-sawn wooden backboards, and small areas where the red or grey bole shows beneath the gold leaf. Joinery often includes lap joints secured with hand-forged nails.

Position the mirror directly above a fireplace mantelpiece or a long hallway console table to create a central visual focal point. The expansive three-panel glass design reflects light, balancing modern minimalist architectural features with period detailing.

Dust the gilded frame gently using a soft, dry pony-hair brush, avoiding water or chemical cleaning solutions that dissolve historic gesso. Clean the mirror plates with a damp microfiber cloth, keeping moisture away from the frame edge.
