FAQs

Overmantel mirrors gained prominence during the 18th and 19th centuries, designed specifically to hang above a fireplace mantel to reflect light and enhance the sense of space in formal rooms.

These pieces typically feature a carved wooden substrate, such as pine or hardwood, overlaid with a mixture of plaster and glue known as gesso, which is then moulded into intricate relief designs and painted or gilded.

Authenticity is indicated by hand-carved details, period-appropriate joinery, oxidisation and imperfections in the silvering of the old glass, and dense, stable gesso cracking consistent with age rather than modern synthetic moulding.

An antique arched mirror can be mounted directly above a fireplace or leaned against a feature wall to anchor a room, creating a striking focal point that bridges traditional craftsmanship with modern minimalist spaces.

Maintain stable indoor humidity levels away from direct heat sources to prevent the gesso from cracking or flaking, and clean the glass using a lint-free cloth with minimal moisture, avoiding harsh chemical sprays.
