FAQs

Overmantel mirrors gained immense popularity during the Victorian era, specifically designed to sit on the mantelpiece above a fireplace to reflect light and amplify the sense of space in drawing rooms.

These mirrors typically feature a wooden construction, often pine or softwood, layered with hand-carved or moulded gesso and composition ornament, which was then water-gilded or oil-gilded with gold leaf.

Authentic pieces often exhibit period characteristics such as hand-beveled glass with minor oxidisation, heavy timber backboards held with old screws or flat-head nails, and age-related craquelure in the gesso layer.

Positioning an ornate gold mirror above a fireplace creates a striking focal point, balancing contemporary minimalist furniture with traditional architectural grandeur and reflecting natural light.

Dust gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth, avoiding any moisture, alcohol, or chemical cleaners that can permanently damage the delicate gold leaf and gesso surfaces.
