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 the room.

These pieces typically feature a carved wood base layered with gesso, a plaster-like material, which was then gilded with gold leaf or painted in metallic finishes.

Authentic pieces often show signs of age such as foxing on the glass plate, hand-carved detailing, shrinkage cracks in the gesso, and traditional joinery on the reverse timber frame.

Positioning an overmantel mirror above a fireplace creates a focal point, while leaning it casually against a wall introduces architectural height and reflects light into contemporary spaces.

Clean surfaces gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth, avoiding chemical solvents, excessive moisture, and direct sunlight to protect the fragile gold leaf and gesso layers.
