FAQs

An overmantel mirror is a large decorative looking-glass traditionally designed to be hung or placed on the mantelpiece above a fireplace, often featuring arched tops and ornate frames characteristic of 19th-century design.

These pieces typically utilized a dense secondary wood such as pine or hardwood treated with an ebonising stain or lacquer to mimic expensive ebony, accented with hand-applied gold leaf or gilt highlights along raised mouldings and carved motifs.

Authentic period mirrors generally feature hand-bevelled or mercury silvered glass plates showing minor oxidisation, older timber backboards secured with handmade flathead screws, and traditional joinery rather than modern fixings.

Integrating an antique mirror into a contemporary space creates a striking focal point; it can be mounted traditionally above a fireplace or leaned against a living room wall to reflect light and add architectural depth.

Dust the frame gently with a soft, dry brush and avoid harsh chemical cleaners or water on gilded or ebonised surfaces. Glass should be cleaned sparingly using a microfibre cloth and a neutral glass cleaner sprayed onto the cloth rather than directly onto the mirror.
