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

Victorian overmantel mirrors were crafted to sit directly above a fireplace hearth, featuring ornate carved wood frames with gesso detail and a finish of gold leaf gilding.

19th-century gilt mirrors used a carved softwood structure coated in gessoa chalk and glue foundationwhich was detailed with moulded ornamentation before applying gold leaf.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut wooden backboards, period fasteners, age-related oxidation or foxing on the glass, and natural wear to the gilding revealing the underlying bole layer.

Positioning the mirror above a fireplace mantelpiece creates a central architectural focal point that reflects ambient light and expands the visual space of the room.

Dust the frame lightly using a dry feather duster or soft brush, avoiding water, chemical polishes, and liquid cleaners that can dissolve gesso and remove delicate gold leaf.
