FAQs

An overmantel mirror is a large wall-hanging or resting mirror specifically designed to be positioned above a fireplace mantelpiece, gaining prominence in European interior architecture during the 17th and 18th centuries to reflect candlelight and maximise room illumination.

These pieces typically feature a hand-carved wooden base frame finished with gessoa mixture of plaster of Paris and chalkwhich was then meticulously layered with thin sheets of gold leaf or metallic paint.

Authentic period pieces often exhibit hand-beveled glass with minor silvering oxidisation, shrinkage cracks in the gesso over timber joints, and hand-tooled carving details rather than uniform synthetic resin moulds.

Placing a large gilded mirror above a modern minimalist fireplace creates an intentional juxtaposition between historical craftsmanship and clean contemporary lines, while also expanding perceived spatial depth.

Dust the carved gesso frame gently with a dry, soft-bristled brush to avoid damaging the delicate metallic leaf, and use a lint-free cloth with a mild vinegar solution exclusively on the glass pane.
