FAQs

Victorian overmantel mirrors are large rectangular or arched wall mirrors traditionally designed to hang directly above a fireplace mantelpiece, frequently featuring elaborate moulding and gilt detailing.

These mirrors typically feature a wooden base, such as pine or hardwood, finished with an ebonised black coating and highlighted with gold leaf or parcel-gilt applied to carved plaster or wood ornaments.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the original glass plate for minor oxidisation and imperfections, inspecting the hand-cut joinery at the back, and verifying the presence of traditional gesso and gilt application.

Placing the mirror above a fireplace or anchoring it on a large feature wall introduces vertical scale, reflects ambient light, and creates a focal point that bridges traditional and contemporary design aesthetics.

Dust the frame gently with a soft, dry cloth and clean the glass using a mild glass cleaner applied to a cloth rather than sprayed directly onto the surface to protect the surrounding gilt finish.
