FAQs

An overmantel mirror from this period is designed specifically to sit directly above a fireplace mantelpiece, featuring a flat base, an arched top, and decorative moulding tailored to Victorian and Regency reception rooms.

These mirrors were constructed using a timber frameoften pine or oakcovered in plaster gesso moulding, finished with genuine silver leaf gilding, and fitted with mercury-backed or early silver-backed glass plates.

Authentic period examples display original softwood backboards, subtle oxidisation or foxing on the glass mirror plate, hand-carved gesso detailing, and natural wear or tarnishing along the high points of the silvered finish.

Positioning an arched silvered mirror above a fireplace or a large console table maximizes natural light reflection and provides an architectural focal point in both minimalist neutral rooms and traditional period spaces.

Dust the frame gently using a dry, soft microfibre cloth or brush, taking care to avoid liquid spray cleaners or abrasive polishes that can degrade delicate silver leaf finish and gesso detailing.
