FAQs

A Victorian overmantel mirror is a framed mirror designed specifically to sit directly above a fireplace mantelpiece, serving as an architectural feature in nineteenth-century reception rooms.

These mirrors were constructed using a wooden armature covered with moulded gesso plaster, which was subsequently water-gilded or oil-gilded using thin sheets of gold leaf.

Authentic antique gilt mirrors display fine craquelure across the gesso surface, visible red or grey bole clay showing through areas of worn gilding, and period timber backing boards.

Positioning the mirror above a chimney breast creates a architectural focal point that reflects light across the space, complementing both classical architectural details and minimalist modern colour palettes.

Gilded frames must be dusted lightly using a dry, soft-bristled brush, avoiding liquid cleaners, water, or commercial polishes which dissolve water-gilding and deteriorate delicate gesso moulding.
