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

An overmantel mirror is designed specifically to sit above a fireplace mantelpiece, and parcel gilt refers to a finish that combines exposed polished timber with selective gold leaf accents.

Victorian overmantel mirrors typically feature solid hardwood frames such as mahogany or walnut, mercury-amalgam or silvered glass plates, and gilded gesso or gold leaf slip details.

Authentic 1870s mirrors feature original pine backing boards, hand-cut timber joinery, light desilverisation or spotting on the glass plate, and natural wear to the gilded gesso slips.

Position the mirror directly above a living room fireplace or atop a contemporary sideboard to reflect light and create a focal point within the space.

Dust the timber and gilded frame gently with a soft dry cloth, avoiding water or chemical cleaning sprays on the gold leaf to prevent removing the delicate finish.
