FAQs

Overmantel mirrors gained prominence during the 18th and 19th centuries, specifically designed to be hung or placed on the mantelpiece above a fireplace to reflect candlelight and light from windows into the room.

These pieces typically feature a carved wooden or composition frame finished with gold leaf or gilt paint, housing hand-silvered glass plates held in place with traditional wooden backing boards.

Authentic period examples often display hand-beveled or uneven glass with natural foxing, old fixings, and gesso shrinkage cracks beneath the gilt surface.

Placing the mirror above a fireplace creates a traditional focal point, whilst leaning it unhung against a plain wall introduces scale, texture, and light into a contemporary setting.

Clean the glass with a lint-free cloth and a mild glass cleaner, avoiding harsh chemicals on the gilt frame to protect the fragile gold leaf or painted finish.
