FAQs

An arched overmantel mirror is a wide wall mirror designed to sit directly above a fireplace mantelpiece, featuring a rounded or curved upper arch. Popularised during the 19th century, these mirrors were engineered to reflect candlelight and natural illumination, expanding visual room depth in formal reception spaces.

Nineteenth-century gilt mirrors typically feature a hand-carved wood frame overlaid with moulded composition detailing. The structural frame is coated in gesso before genuine gold leaf is applied via water or oil gilding onto hand-cut glass plate.

Authentic antique gilt mirrors feature natural wear revealing the red or yellow clay bole beneath the leaf gilding. The wooden backboards generally exhibit hand-sawn construction marks with age-related oxidisation, while the original glass plate displays subtle foxing or silvering degradation around the perimeter.

Position the mirror directly above a fireplace mantelpiece or low architectural ledger to establish an anchor point in the room. Combining detailed gilding against neutral wall finishes creates an effective contrast between period craftsmanship and contemporary design.

Dust the gilded frame gently using a dry, soft camel-hair brush to prevent lifting delicate gold leaf. Glass cleaner must be applied directly to a cloth rather than sprayed onto the mirror surface to avoid moisture seeping into the surrounding giltwood or gesso.
