FAQs

An overmantel mirror is a large mirror specifically designed to be hung or placed on the mantelpiece above a fireplace. Originating in the 17th century, these mirrors became central features in European drawing rooms to reflect candlelight and amplify natural light within the space.

Antique gilded mirrors are typically constructed from pine, oak, or composition material over a wooden frame, finished with a layer of gesso. Gold leaf or composition leaf is then applied to the surface, often burnished with agate stones to achieve a lustrous finish.

Authentic pieces can be identified by hand-applied gesso work, old float or cylinder glass with minor oxidisation spots, hand-cut joinery on the reverse, and traditional fixings such as handmade screws or old backing boards.

An antique gilded mirror can be styled as a striking focal point above a fireplace or console table, contrasting traditional craftsmanship with contemporary minimalist furnishings to create a balanced, layered interior.

Gilded frames should be dusted gently with a soft, dry feather duster or microfiber cloth. Avoid using water, liquid cleaners, or chemical solvents, as these can permanently damage the delicate gold leaf and gesso layers.
