FAQs

An overmantel mirror is a large decorative looking glass traditionally designed to be hung or placed on the mantelpiece above a fireplace, serving both to reflect light and enhance the proportions of a room.

Traditional giltwood pieces are typically constructed from carved softwood or hardwood substrates, which are then coated in gesso, meticulously smoothed, and finished with extremely thin sheets of gold leaf applied using sizing.

Authentic period pieces exhibit characteristics such as hand-carved detailing, historical gesso cracking, foxing or oxidisation within the mirror plate, and traditional joinery methods visible on the reverse side.

A giltwood mirror introduces warmth and classic architecture into contemporary spaces; it can be mounted above a minimalist fireplace to create a striking contrast or placed on a wall to anchor a rooms focal point.

Giltwood requires delicate care; surfaces should be gently dusted with a soft, dry brush, avoiding all chemical polishes, abrasive cloths, and excess moisture that could damage the fragile gold leaf finish.
