Description

A large and impressive antique mahogany and parcel gilt overmantle mirror. This was made in England, it likely dates from around the 1890-1900 period.

It is of very fine quality, with beautifully carved fretwork around the top edges and gorgeous pierced parcel gilt carving in the centre of the top. The glass has bevelled edges and also has borders of parcel gilt moulding.

The frame is in very good condition, we have just had this re-polished. There is no surface damage to the glass, there is some spotting and wear to the silvered backing here and there, most noticeably at the top of the central section.

FAQs

An overmantel mirror is a large decorative glass panel specifically designed to be hung or placed on the mantelpiece above a fireplace, historically used to reflect light and amplify the warmth of a room.

Traditional construction typically involves a hardwood frame such as mahogany, oak, or pine, often enhanced with parcel gilt details, gesso ornamentation, and silvered flat glass plates.

Authentic pieces often exhibit period construction techniques like hand-cut dovetails or trammel marks, alongside age-related foxing on the mirror plate and natural oxidisation of the wooden frame.

Placing an ornate wooden mirror above a modern minimalist fireplace creates a striking focal point by contrasting historical craftsmanship with clean, contemporary lines.

Dust the frame gently with a dry, soft cloth and clean the glass using a microfiber cloth lightly dampened with distilled water, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that can damage the antique silvering.
