FAQs

Overmantel mirrors were designed specifically to be hung above a fireplace mantelpiece, gaining prominence in the 18th and 19th centuries to reflect candlelight and brighten rooms.

Authentic period pieces typically feature carved softwood or hardwood frames finished with gesso and gold leaf applied by hand, paired with silvered float or cylinder glass.

Authentication involves examining the rear for hand-planed timber, old fixings, the presence of foxing or oxidation in the mirror plate, and the application method of the gilt layer.

Mounting the piece above a fireplace or console table introduces verticality, reflects natural light, and creates a focal point that bridges historical character with modern minimalist furniture.

Maintain the finish by dusting gently with a dry, soft cloth, avoiding all liquid cleaners or chemical polishes that can damage fragile gesso and gold leaf layers.
