FAQs

Overmantel mirrors were traditionally designed to hang or sit directly upon the mantelpiece above a fireplace, becoming popular in European homes during the 18th and 19th centuries to reflect candlelight and natural daylight around the room.

Authentic period overmantel mirrors typically feature a hand-carved wooden frame coated in layers of gessoa chalk-based plaster mixturewhich was then water-gilded with fine metal leaf or painted.

Authentic pieces often display age-related characteristics such as foxing and oxidisation within the glass plate, hand-cut joinery behind the frame, and subtle crazing or shrinkage cracks in the gesso layer.

Placing a large vintage overmantel mirror above a modern fireplace or leaning it against a living room wall creates an immediate focal point, adding architectural depth and balancing contemporary furnishings with historic texture.

To preserve fragile gesso and gold leaf finishes, clean the frame exclusively with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and avoid using chemical cleaning sprays or excessive moisture near the exposed wooden joints.
