FAQs

Overmantel mirrors gained immense popularity during the 18th and 19th centuries, specifically designed to be hung or placed on the mantelpiece above a fireplace to reflect candlelight and natural light around formal reception rooms.

Authentic period pieces typically feature a hand-carved wooden frame coated in gessoa chalk-based plaster mixturewhich is then meticulously covered in thin layers of gold leaf or gilt paint.

Authentication involves examining the mirror plate for silvering degradation, foxing, or handmade imperfections, alongside inspecting the pine or hardwood backing boards and the old-world joinery of the frame.

An antique gilt mirror works effectively as a statement piece in contemporary spaces, often left unmounted and resting directly on a mantelpiece or console table to create an effortless, layered aesthetic.

Gilt surfaces are extremely delicate and should only be cleaned with a dry, soft feather duster, avoiding all chemical solvents, moisture, and abrasive cloths that can strip the metallic finish.
