FAQs

A Louis Philippe overmantel mirror is a 19th-century French mirror style characterised by rounded upper corners, a flat base designed to sit directly above a fireplace mantelpiece, and understated frame mouldings coated in gold or silver leaf.

These mirrors were traditionally constructed from carved wood frames covered with layers of plaster gesso and clay bole, finished with water-gilded silver leaf and fitted with silvered or mercury glass plates.

Authentic period examples generally display hand-cut pine or oak backboards, natural wear revealing the red or grey clay bole beneath the leaf, and light foxing or oxidisation within the mirror glass.

Position the mirror directly above a fireplace or contemporary sideboard to serve as an architectural focal point, pairing the aged metallic patina with minimalist furnishings and modern neutral colour palettes.

Dust the frame using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding liquid cleaners or abrasive cloths that can dissolve or strip delicate gesso and silver leaf finish.
