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

Overmantel mirrors from around 1900 typically feature Revivalist influence, combining Rococo and Neoclassical motifs such as cherub crestings, acanthus foliage, and repeated geometric or anthemion border mouldings designed to sit directly above a fireplace hearth.

These mirrors were predominantly constructed using a timber core frame overlaid with moulded composition or plaster embellishments, finished in gold leaf or bronze powders, and fitted with thick plate glass mirror panels.

Authentic period pieces often demonstrate micro-crazing across the gesso surface, light oxidisation or foxing to the silvering on the glass back, and traditional hand-cut wooden backing boards secured with square-headed tacks or wire fixings.

Placing a large gilded mirror above a focal architectural feature such as a fireplace or sideboard draws light into the room and balances contemporary minimalist furnishings with historical texture.

Dust the ornate frame gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding wet solutions or commercial chemical polish which can dissolve water-gilded surfaces or damage delicate composition ornament.
