FAQs

Overmantel mirrors gained prominence in the 18th and 19th centuries, specifically designed to be hung or placed on the mantelpiece above a fireplace to reflect candlelight and natural light into the room.

These pieces typically feature a wooden framework built from pine or hardwood, layered with gesso to create sculpted relief ornamentation, which was then traditionally gilded, painted, or finished with silver leaf.

Authentic period items often display hand-carved details, traditional joinery, heavy plate glass with minor foxing or oxidisation, and aged gesso that shows characteristic craquelure and wear appropriate to the era.

Placing an antique mirror above a fireplace creates a traditional focal point, whereas leaning it casually against a living room wall adds textural contrast and a sense of expanded space in contemporary settings.

Preserve the piece by avoiding direct sunlight and moisture fluctuations to protect the delicate gesso and frame, using only a dry, soft cloth for dusting and specialized glass cleaner applied to a cloth rather than directly onto the mirror.
