FAQs

Overmantle mirrors became prominent in the 19th century, traditionally hung above fireplaces to reflect candlelight and natural light around formal reception rooms, significantly enhancing the sense of space and illumination.

These mirrors were typically constructed from a carved wooden base, often pine or softwood, layered with gesso to create smooth surfaces for intricate detailing, and finished with gold leaf or metallic paint.

Authentic pieces often feature period characteristics such as hand-carved joinery, heavy timber backing secured with old nails, and antique glass showing characteristic foxing, waviness, and slight oxidisation.

Dust the frame gently with a soft, dry brush and avoid chemical solvents, moisture, or abrasive cloths, as gesso and historical gilding are fragile and easily damaged by modern cleaning products.

Positioning an overmantle mirror above a fireplace or a sideboard creates a strong focal point, contrasting traditional metallic textures with modern minimalist furniture to add depth and historic character.
