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

Overmantel mirrors gained widespread prominence in 18th and 19th-century British interiors, designed specifically to sit directly above a fireplace mantelpiece to reflect light from candles and hearth fires, thereby enhancing illumination and spatial depth in reception rooms.

Frames from this period were typically constructed from pine or lime wood, layered with gesso, and finished with oil or water-based paint. Highlighted areas were accented with thin sheets of gold leaf applied over a bole clay base, creating the signature parcel-gilt contrast.

Authentic pieces exhibit signs of natural ageing, including subtle craquelure in the gesso, slight wear to the gilt details revealing the underlying bole, hand-cut joinery on the wooden backboards, and mild oxidation or foxing on the original mirror plate.

Position the mirror centrally above a fireplace surround, console table, or architectural ledge to act as an anchor point. Its light painted finish pairs effectively with both modern neutral wall tones and bold contemporary artwork.

Dust the frame regularly using a dry, soft-bristled brush or microfiber cloth. Avoid water, commercial glass sprays, or chemical solvents on the frame, as liquid can penetrate fine cracks in the gesso and cause the gilding or paint to flake.
