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

Overmantle mirrors became prominent feature pieces in nineteenth-century homes, designed to sit directly above a fireplace mantelpiece to reflect light from candles and gas lamps into the room.

These mirrors were typically crafted from timber substrates surfaced with moulded gesso, over which thin sheets of gold leaf were applied using traditional water or oil gilding techniques.

Authentic period examples generally display natural age-related distress, original silvering or mercury backing flaws on the glass, joint lines in the gesso, and hand-sawn wooden backboards.

Positioning a gilded mirror above a clean-lined fireplace surround or contemporary console table creates a focal point that contrasts ornate historic detail with modern minimalist lines.

Dust the gilded frame gently with a dry, soft brush or microfibre cloth without using liquid cleaners or water, as moisture can dissolve traditional gesso backing and loosen gold leaf.
