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.
