FAQs

Overmantel mirrors gained immense popularity during the nineteenth century, specifically designed to be hung above fireplace mantels to reflect candlelight and maximise natural light in formal rooms.

These mirrors typically feature carved wood or gesso-over-wood frames finished with gold leaf or gilt paint, housing original hand-silvered sheet glass secured with wooden backing boards.

Authentic pieces often exhibit age-related characteristics such as foxing or oxidisation in the mirror plate, hand-cut joinery, traditional gesso application, and historical fastenings on the reverse.

Pairing an ornate gilt mirror with minimalist contemporary furniture creates a striking focal point, balancing historical craftsmanship with clean, modern architectural lines.

Dust the gilded frame gently with a soft, dry brush and clean the glass using a lint-free cloth with minimal moisture, avoiding harsh chemical solvents that can damage fragile gold leaf.
