FAQs

An overmantel mirror is a large looking glass specifically designed to be hung or placed on the mantelpiece above a fireplace, gaining popularity in 18th- and 19th-century European interiors to reflect candlelight and amplify light in formal rooms.

Traditional mirrors from the period typically feature a hand-carved wooden or composition gesso frame finished with genuine gold leaf or metallic paint, housing a hand-silvered glass plate secured with wooden backing boards and original fixings.

Authentic pieces exhibit age-appropriate characteristics such as foxing or oxidation within the glass, hand-cut joinery on the rear frame, subtle asymmetries in hand-carved ornamentation, and period-appropriate screws or nails.

An antique mirror can serve as a striking focal point by leaning it casually against a chimney breast to add architectural depth, or by hanging it above a modern sideboard to create a balanced juxtaposition of historical and contemporary design elements.

To preserve delicate gilt surfaces, dust gently with a soft, dry brush and avoid chemical cleaning agents, using only a slightly damp cloth on the glass itself while ensuring moisture does not seep into the fragile frame joints or silver backing.
