FAQs

An overmantel mirror is a large mirror traditionally designed to be hung or placed on the mantelpiece above a fireplace, serving both a decorative and light-reflecting purpose in nineteenth-century interiors.

These mirrors typically feature a hand-carved wooden or composition gesso frame coated in gold leaf or gold paint, fitted with silvered float or cylinder glass plates.

Authentic pieces often display signs of age such as foxing on the glass plate, hand-beveled edges, original pine or oak backboards, and traditional gesso cracking beneath the gilding.

Placing the mirror above a fireplace or leaning it against a living room wall creates an illusion of space, reflects natural light, and adds a sense of historical contrast to contemporary furnishings.

Dust the frame gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth and avoid using chemical cleaning agents or water, which can damage the delicate historical gilding and gesso layers.
