FAQs

Overmantel mirrors gained significant popularity during the 18th and 19th centuries, specifically designed to be hung or placed on the mantelpiece above a fireplace to reflect candlelight and natural light around the room.

Authentic period pieces typically feature a wooden frameoften pine or gesso-covered softwoodapplied with gold leaf or gilt finish, holding heavy glass plates that may exhibit minor foxing and bevelled edges.

Authentication relies on examining the construction joints, the presence of hand-applied gesso or gold leaf, original backboards with period fixings, and natural oxidation or foxing within the mercury or silvered mirror glass.

Maintain the mirror by dusting the gilt frame with a soft, dry brush and cleaning the glass gently with a lint-free cloth and mild solution, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that could damage the antique finish.

Placing the mirror directly on a mantelpiece or mounting it above a contemporary fireplace creates a striking focal point that blends historical texture with clean modern lines, enhancing spatial depth.
