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

Overmantel mirrors gained prominence during the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, designed specifically to sit directly above a fireplace mantelpiece to reflect both candlelight and natural light across grand reception rooms.

Craftsmen typically fashioned these frames from carved timber coated with gesso and plaster before hand-painting scagliola or faux-marbling techniques, allowing the visual weight and elegance of real stone without the prohibitive weight or cost.

Authentic period pieces exhibit subtle irregularities in the carved details, evidence of hand-painted faux finishes with natural age crazing, and original backing boards secured with historical fixings rather than modern staples or phillips screws.

Position the mirror centrally above a architectural fireplace surround, chimney breast, or wide console table to anchor the rooms visual symmetry and maximize natural illumination.

Dust the frame gently using a soft, dry microfibre brush or feather duster, avoiding water or liquid chemical cleaners which can dissolve historic gesso or strip hand-applied painted finishes.
