FAQs

An overmantel mirror is a large wall mirror traditionally designed to hang on the wall or sit directly upon the mantelpiece above a fireplace, serving to reflect light and enhance the proportions of a reception room.

Traditional mirrors from this era typically feature a carved wooden or composition base layered with gesso, which was then hand-gilded with gold leaf or painted to achieve a metallic finish.

Authentic pieces often display signs of age such as foxing on the original mercury or silvered glass plate, hand-carved detailing, traditional joinery at the corners, and aged gesso with natural crackle or wear.

Placing a large ornate mirror above a minimalist fireplace or leaning it casually against a living room wall creates a striking focal point that bridges traditional craftsmanship with modern design.

Preserve gilded surfaces by dusting gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and avoiding chemical cleaning agents, moisture, and direct sunlight to prevent degradation of the fragile gesso and leaf.
