FAQs

Victorian overmantel mirrors were specifically designed to be hung above a fireplace mantelpiece, often featuring architectural arched tops and ornate gilt frames to reflect light and enhance the sense of space in 19th-century reception rooms.

These frames were typically constructed from softwood or gesso-coated carved wood, finished with gold leaf or gilt paint. The glass plates often exhibited traditional silvering techniques with bevelled or flat edges.

Authentic pieces often show signs of age on the glass plate, such as foxing, minor oxidisation, and hand-bevelled edges. The reverse typically features aged timber backing boards secured with old hand-cut or flat-head screws.

Placing an ornate gilt mirror above a modern minimalist fireplace creates a striking focal point through the juxtaposition of eras. Alternatively, leaning it unhung against a living room wall adds casual architectural depth.

Dust the frame gently with a soft, dry brush to protect the delicate gilt surface, avoiding liquid cleaners or harsh chemicals. Clean the glass sparingly using a microfibre cloth and a neutral glass cleaner applied to the cloth rather than directly to the mirror.
