FAQs

An overmantel mirror is a large mirror historically designed to be positioned specifically on the wall above a fireplace mantelpiece, serving both a functional and decorative purpose to reflect light and enhance the rooms proportions.

These frames were typically constructed from softwood or hardwood, featuring hand-carved decorative elements, gesso, and applied paint or gilding, housing original silvered glass plates backed with wooden panels.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the mirror plate for silver oxidisation, imperfections, and foxing, alongside inspecting the construction joints, hand-carved details, and historical backing boards for signs of age.

Placing a large antique mirror above a fireplace or leaning it against a wall in a living room creates a focal point, amplifies natural light, and introduces a sense of history that contrasts effectively with modern furnishings.

Preservation involves keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and high humidity, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners on the antique glass, and dusting the frame gently with a soft, dry cloth.
