Dealers Notes

I can arrange delivery to you, whether you are within the UK or require an international delivery service, please do get in touch…as a mainland UK guide, a delivery for something around the size of a chest of drawers within approx 150 miles will be £75 to you, but if you if you are in Scotland, Wales, Ireland or Cornwall please get in touch to confirm delivery costs!

Based in Uppingham, Rutland…having been in the business for 25 years focusing on mostly French and English decorative antiques and interiors from the 18th to the early 20th century, hopefully a collection you will enjoy browsing and hopefully re home some of my finds!

Viewing here in Uppingham is very welcome in my spacious barn studio but also I have a showroom based within the Uppingham Antiques Centre, which is well worth a visit and have a good lunch in town too!

Any queries about anything you have seen or about delivery, don't hesitate to get in touch.

FAQs

Overmantel mirrors gained prominence during the 18th and 19th centuries, designed specifically to hang above fireplace mantels to reflect candlelight and amplify light within formal reception rooms.

Authentic period frames are typically constructed from carved wood or gesso over a timber base, finished with a layer of gold leaf applied by hand.

Authentic pieces often feature hand-carved detailing, foxing or oxidisation within the mirror plate, traditional joinery, and wear patterns consistent with age on the gilding.

Such pieces serve as a striking focal point and can be mounted above a fireplace or styled lean-to against a living room wall to add a sense of space and classical contrast to contemporary furnishings.

Dust gently with a soft, dry brush and avoid chemical cleaners or moisture, which can damage the fragile gold leaf and historical gesso layers.
