Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Overmantel mirrors from the 19th century were designed specifically to sit directly above a fireplace mantelpiece, serving as a focal point in formal living spaces. They often incorporate architectural elements such as classical columns, moulded cornices, and decorative wood or brass inlays.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid hardwoods or timber frames veneered with rich woods like walnut or mahogany. Decorative accents were made using brass inlays or gilt-bronze mounts, while mercury-backed or silvered glass provided the reflective mirror surface.

Authentic period mirrors feature hand-cut joinery, original timber backboards secured with period fixings, and slight silvering degradation or oxidation on the glass plate. The brasswork often exhibits natural patination rather than uniform modern plating.

Position the mirror above a contemporary or traditional fireplace to create depth and reflect natural light across the room. It can also be placed above a hallway console or sideboard to bridge classic architectural detailing with modern furnishings.

Dust the timber frame regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly along the grain. Avoid spraying glass cleaners directly onto the pane to prevent moisture from seeping behind the frame and damaging the backing or brass inlay.
