FAQs

Overmantel mirrors gained prominence during the 18th and 19th centuries, specifically designed to be hung or placed on the mantelpiece above a fireplace to reflect candlelight and natural light around a room.

Authentic period overmantel mirrors typically feature a hand-carved wooden base or pine frame layered with gesso, a plaster-like mixture, which was then gilded with gold leaf or painted.

Authentic pieces often display aged characteristics such as foxing on the original mercury or silvered glass plate, hand-tooled gesso relief work, and construction joints using period fixings.

Placing an ornate gilt mirror above a contemporary fireplace creates a striking juxtaposition of textures, grounding the space while reflecting light to make rooms appear larger.

Dust the carved frame gently with a soft dry brush and clean the glass using a lint-free cloth with a mild glass cleaner, taking care to avoid getting moisture on the fragile gesso and gilt surfaces.
