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

An overmantel mirror is a large, decorative wall mirror specifically designed to sit above a fireplace mantelpiece, originating in the late 17th century and gaining widespread popularity during the Victorian era as a central architectural feature.

Nineteenth-century overmantel mirrors were commonly crafted from solid English or European oak, featuring hand-carved architectural elements, fluted column details, and silvered glass plates backed by solid timber boards.

Authentic Victorian pieces feature traditional joinery techniques, original silvered glass showing gentle age spots or foxing, hand-carved decorative motifs, and authentic natural surface patination along unpolished edges.

Position the mirror centrally above a chimney breast, console table, or sideboard to bounce light across the room, contrasting the warm timber grain against neutral or dark paint schemes.

Clean the timber frame regularly using a soft, lint-free cloth and natural beeswax polish, ensuring liquid glass cleaners are applied directly to a cloth rather than sprayed near the wood frame.
