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

Designed during the nineteenth century to sit directly above a fireplace mantelpiece, Victorian overmantel mirrors were crafted to reflect light from hearth fires and candles, thereby enhancing the natural illumination within formal reception rooms.

These mirrors were predominantly framed in pine or lime wood coated with carved gesso, finished in gold leaf or distemper paint, and fitted with hand-cut silvered glass plates.

Authentic nineteenth-century pieces feature pine backboards with hand-sawn timber panels, plaster or gesso mouldings applied over wooden frames, and light oxidisation on the original glass plate.

Positioning an arched overmantel mirror above a fireplace or a dining room sideboard creates architectural height and reflects light across living spaces, pairing effectively with both traditional panelling and contemporary backdrops.

Dust the wooden and gesso frame gently with a soft dry brush, avoiding liquid cleaners or abrasive chemicals that might strip aged paint finishes or dissolve delicate gesso layers.
