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

A 19th-century English overmantel mirror typically features an arched or rectangular frame designed specifically to sit above a fireplace mantelpiece, often incorporating Neoclassical or Regency decorative elements such as giltwood finish, beaded mouldings, and classical crest medallions.

Antique gilt mirrors were constructed using a solid wood substrate covered with layers of gesso composition, followed by water gilding with thin gold leaf, occasionally combined with painted black enamel accents and early silvered plate glass.

Authentic period mirrors display characteristic signs of age including fine crazing in the gesso layer, subtle wear exposing the red or dark bole clay beneath the gilding, and original glass showing mild oxidation or foxing.

Place the mirror centrally above a living room mantelpiece or a contemporary side console to draw the eye upward, allowing the gold tones to contrast with neutral wall finishes and modern architectural details.

Dust the frame gently using a dry, soft feather duster or clean microfiber cloth, avoiding water, liquid cleaners, or chemical solvents that could dissolve the gesso or strip fragile gold leaf.
