FAQs

Victorian overmantel mirrors gained prominence during the 19th century, traditionally designed to sit on the mantelpiece above a fireplace to reflect light and enhance the sense of space within formal drawing rooms.

Authentic period pieces typically feature a hand-carved wooden frame coated in gesso and gold leaf, housing a heavy silvered glass plate held in place by wooden backing boards secured with old brads or screws.

Authentication involves examining the mirror plate for natural ageing such as foxing and oxidation, checking the construction of the wooden frame for period-appropriate joinery, and inspecting the gilding technique for hand-applied gold leaf over gesso.

Placing the mirror above a modern fireplace or leaning it against a plain wall creates a striking focal point, contrasting historical craftsmanship with minimalist modern furniture.

Gilt surfaces should be dusted gently with a soft, dry feather duster or microfiber cloth. Moisture and chemical cleaning agents must be strictly avoided to prevent stripping the delicate gold leaf layer.
