FAQs

Victorian overmantle mirrors gained immense popularity during the 19th century, specifically designed to sit atop drawing-room fireplace mantles to reflect candlelight and amplify natural light within the space.

These mirrors typically feature a hand-carved wooden or gesso-on-wood frame finished with gold leaf or metallic paint, housing multiple glass plates held together by wooden backing boards.

Authentic pieces often exhibit signs of age such as foxing or silver degradation on the mirror plates, hand-applied gesso ornamentation, and original pine or hardwood secondary backing boards secured with period fixings.

Positioning the mirror directly above a fireplace mantel serves as a striking focal point, anchoring contemporary furnishings with a sense of historical contrast and bouncing ambient light across the room.

Gilded frames require gentle dusting with a soft, dry ostrich feather duster and should be kept away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture to prevent the delicate gold leaf or gesso from flaking.
