FAQs

A Victorian overmantel mirror is a decorative wall mirror specifically designed to sit above a fireplace mantelpiece. Characterised by rounded arch tops and gilded ornamentation, these mirrors were manufactured during the nineteenth century to reflect light and enhance room proportions.

Victorian gilt mirrors were typically constructed from softwood or hardwood frames covered in plaster or gesso moulding, which was then decorated using gold leaf gilding techniques. Original mirror plates were often backed with mercury or silvering, producing soft reflective qualities.

Authentic Victorian mirrors feature signs of age, such as natural oxidisation or foxing on the glass plate, wear to the gilding showing underlying reddish bole or white gesso, and hand-cut timber backing boards fastened with aged iron fittings.

An arched gilt mirror can be positioned above a fireplace, modern console table, or sideboard to create a focal point. Combining the warmth of aged gold leaf with contemporary clean lines adds historic depth to minimalist or classic interiors.

Dust the gilded frame gently using a soft, dry feather duster or horsehair brush, avoiding wet cloths or chemical cleaners that can dissolve original gesso and gold leaf. Glass cleaner should be applied carefully to a cloth rather than sprayed directly onto the mirror.
