FAQs

An archtop overmantel mirror is a decorative mirror designed with a curved upper edge to fit above a fireplace chimney breast, widely popularised during the 19th century.

Frames from this period were crafted from wood or composite mouldings, coated in gesso, and layered with thin gold leaf that was burnished to create a reflective metallic surface.

Authentic period examples often exhibit red clay bole showing through worn gilding, hand-carved jointing marks, original wooden backboards, and slight silvering oxidisation on the glass.

Position the mirror centrally on a fireplace mantelpiece or console table to establish a focal point, bounce natural light, and contrast detailed gilded accents against contemporary wall tones.

Dust the frame lightly using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, keeping water and liquid polish away from the delicate gesso and gold leaf to prevent flaking or dissolution.
