FAQs

A French overmantel mirror is a decorative glass mirror historically created to hang or rest directly above a fireplace mantelpiece in 18th and 19th-century interiors, designed to reflect light and increase the visual dimensions of formal rooms.

Traditional giltwood frames were constructed from carved wood coated in layers of gesso plaster, which was then gilded using gold leaf and burnished before securing the silvered glass mirror plate.

Authentic period mirrors generally feature original pine backboards, evidence of natural age crazing within the gesso moulding, subtle wear to the gold leaf showing red bole timber preparation underneath, and faint oxidisation on the mirror glass.

Place the mirror above a architectural fireplace or atop a sleek console table to create a focal point that balances modern architectural lines with detailed historical craftsmanship.

Dust the gilded frame gently using a soft, dry feather duster or microfibre cloth, keeping liquids and chemical cleansers entirely away from the delicate gold leaf finish to prevent tarnishing and loss.
