FAQs

Overmantel mirrors gained prominence during the 18th and 19th centuries, designed specifically to hang above a fireplace mantel to reflect light and enhance the sense of space in a room.

These pieces typically feature a carved wood or gesso-on-wood base, finished with applied gold leaf or gilt paint, often constructed with multiple plate glass sections.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit hand-carved details, traditional gesso application showing age-appropriate craquelure or wear, and older mirror plates with minor foxing or bevelled edges.

Pairing a traditional gilt mirror with contemporary minimalist furniture creates a striking contrast that anchors the room and draws the eye upward to architectural features.

Preserve gilt surfaces by dusting gently with a dry, soft cloth, avoiding all liquid cleaners or chemical polishes that can damage the delicate gold leaf finish.
