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 English overmantel mirror, often referred to as chimney glass, is designed specifically to sit above a fireplace mantle. These pieces typically feature low-profile bases to rest flat on the shelf and incorporate architectural details such as pilasters, cornices, and gilded mouldings popular in Regency and Victorian decor.

These frames were generally constructed from softwoods like pine or lime, coated in gesso, and finished with oil or water-based paint. Decorative highlights were created using gold leaf gilding over bole, enclosing mercury or silvered nitrate glass plates.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-carved wood elements, subtle foxing or oxidisation on the original glass plate, and genuine wear on the gilding where gesso shows through. The back boards are usually rough-sawn pine panels held with period nails or screws.

A large overmantel mirror acts as a central focal point when positioned above a fireplace or mounted over a modern console table. Pairing classical painted giltwood frames with minimalist contemporary furnishings creates an engaging contrast between period elegance and modern simplicity.

Dust the frame regularly using a dry, soft-bristled brush, avoiding liquid cleaners or damp cloths which can dissolve water gilding and damage soft paint layers. Clean the glass carefully by applying cleaner directly to a microfibre cloth rather than spraying the mirror surface.
