FAQs

An overmantel mirror is a large decorative mirror designed specifically to sit directly above a fireplace mantelpiece. Popularised throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, these mirrors feature grand architectural proportions, often with arched tops or giltwood frames, designed to capture and reflect light across the room.

19th-century gilt mirrors were predominantly constructed using hand-carved timber or pine frames overlaid with gessoa mixture of chalk and animal glue. Thin sheets of gold leaf were then applied using oil or water gilding techniques to achieve a bright, metallic finish.

Authentic antique giltwood frames typically display subtle signs of age, such as fine hairline cracking (craquelure) in the gesso layer, exposed clay bole beneath worn gold leaf, hand-carved wooden backing panels, and natural oxidation or foxing on the glass mirror plate.

Position a large arched overmantel mirror above a chimney breast or rest it directly atop a wide console table to create a focal point. Combining the gilded detail and arched top with contemporary neutral paint tones provides a balanced blend of classical structure and modern minimalism.

Dust giltwood frames gently using a soft, dry feather duster or dry camel-hair brush, avoiding moisture or harsh chemical cleaners that dissolve delicate water-gesso finishes. Clean the mirror plate using a lint-free cloth lightly dampened with water, ensuring liquid does not run beneath the frame edge.
