FAQs

An overmantel mirror is a large decorative glass panel specifically designed to be hung or placed on the mantelpiece above a fireplace, becoming popular during the 18th and 19th centuries to reflect candlelight and light from windows.

These frames are typically constructed from carved timber, often pine or gesso-covered softwood, finished with gold leaf or gilt paint applied over a bole layer, frequently featuring hand-carved floral crestings and architectural mouldings.

Authentic period pieces often exhibit hand-applied gold leaf, foxing or oxidisation within the silvering of the original glass plate, traditional joinery at the frame corners, and heavy timber backboards secured with old fixings.

Positioning the mirror above a contemporary fireplace or against a minimalist wall creates a striking juxtaposition, allowing the ornate gilded frame to act as a focal point whilst reflecting natural light.

Gilded surfaces should be dusted gently with a soft, dry brush to avoid damaging the delicate leaf, and mirror glass ought to be cleaned sparingly with a lint-free cloth and a mild glass cleaner, ensuring no liquid seeps behind the frame.
