The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A 19th-century overmantel mirror was designed specifically to sit above a fireplace hearth, featuring rectangular or arched proportions intended to reflect light and complement grand architectural room scales.

Frames were typically constructed from carved softwood or hardwood bases coated in gesso moulding, finished with applied gold leaf gilding and layered distemper or oil paints.

Authentic period pieces display original silvered glass with dark spots, silvering degradation known as foxing, hand-cut timber backing boards, and genuine wear through paint and gilding layers.

Mount the mirror above a contemporary fireplace or lean it against a wall on top of a substantial hallway console table to introduce scale, reflective depth, and historic texture.

Dust the ornate frame gently using a soft, dry brush or microfibre duster, ensuring no liquid cleaners or damp cloths touch the painted or gilded gesso surfaces.
