FAQs

A gilt overmantel mirror is a large decorative looking glass traditionally designed to hang on the wall directly above a fireplace mantelpiece during the 19th century.

Traditional overmantel mirrors are typically constructed from a carved wooden base, such as pine or hardwood, coated in layers of gesso and bole before being hand-gilded with gold leaf.

Authentic pieces often feature hand-carved details, traditional gesso application showing signs of age, original mercury or silvered glass with foxing, and heavy timber backboards secured with hand-cut screws.

An antique gilt mirror can be mounted above a fireplace or styled leaning against a living room wall to reflect natural light and create a striking focal point that contrasts with contemporary furnishings.

Clean the glass carefully with a dry or slightly damp microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals, and dust the fragile gilt frame gently with a soft brush to prevent damage to the metallic leaf.
