FAQs

Overmantel mirrors gained prominence during the 18th and 19th centuries, designed specifically to hang above fireplace mantelpieces to reflect candlelight and natural daylight around the room.

Traditional construction typically involves a carved wood or gesso-on-wood substrate, finished with genuine gold leaf or gold paint applied over a bole layer, often featuring hand-carved decorative motifs.

Authentic pieces often exhibit period-appropriate joinery, hand-beveled glass with minor oxidisation or foxing, hand-carved details, and aged timber backing secured with traditional handmade fixings.

An antique overmantel mirror can be mounted above a fireplace to anchor a living room, or placed lean-to against a wall to create a sense of scale and contrast within a contemporary minimalist setting.

Gilt surfaces should be dusted gently with a soft, dry brush and kept away from direct sunlight, moisture, and chemical cleaners to protect the delicate metallic leaf and underlying gesso.
