FAQs

Victorian overmantel mirrors were traditionally designed to be hung above a fireplace mantelpiece, reflecting light and creating a sense of increased space in 19th-century drawing rooms.

These mirrors typically feature a carved wooden frame, often made of pine or softwood, coated in gesso and finished with applied gold leaf or gilt paint.

Authentic pieces often exhibit age-related characteristics such as minor losses to the gesso, hand-carved detailing, foxing or oxidisation on the mirror plate, and older backboards secured with traditional fixings.

Placing an ornate gilt mirror in a contemporary setting creates a striking focal point, contrasting clean architectural lines with historical craftsmanship and adding warmth through metallic tones.

Giltwood frames should be dusted very gently with a soft, dry brush to avoid damaging the delicate metallic leaf, and moisture or chemical cleaners must be kept away from both the frame and the mirror glass.
