FAQs

An overmantle mirror is a large decorative glass panel specifically designed to be positioned on the wall or shelf directly above a fireplace mantel, becoming popular during the Victorian era to reflect light and enhance the sense of space.

These pieces typically feature a wooden base construction overlaid with gesso and composition ornaments, which were then leafed in gold or painted with metallic finishes.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the backboards for aged timber and hand-cut screws, inspecting the silvering on the glass for oxidation spots, and checking the plaster mouldings for historical wear patterns.

Placing an ornate historical mirror above a modern minimalist fireplace creates a striking focal point through the juxtaposition of eras, reflecting natural light to open up the room.

Dust gently with a dry, soft brush and avoid using water, chemical solvents, or abrasive cloths on the delicate metallic leaf finish to prevent flaking and damage.
