This nineteenth-century Victorian overmantel mirror is finished in silver leaf over gesso and wood, presenting a clear arched top and a flat base. The moulded and carved frame displays a finely detailed beaded outer edge, with visible signs of age including foxing and sparkle on the original glass plate, alongside age-related marks on the silver surface. Measuring 125 cm high by 129 cm wide and 8 cm deep, the piece incorporates original panelled backboards fitted with four wall brackets and small stepped feet at the base. It is suited for home placement above a mantelpiece in a living room, drawing room or hallway, providing a functional mirror surface while introducing period character to an interior wall.

FAQs

An overmantel mirror is an architectural wall mirror designed specifically to sit directly above a fireplace mantelpiece to reflect light and enhance room proportion.

These mirrors were constructed using wooden frames topped with moulded gesso decoration, finished with silver leaf gilding, and fitted with silvered glass panels.

Authentic period examples feature flat bases designed to sit flush on mantelpieces, original timber backboards, and natural oxidisation on the glass surface.

Position the mirror directly above a living room fireplace hearth or mount it above a large hallway console table to create visual focal points.

Dust the gilded gesso frame gently with a dry soft brush, taking care to avoid liquid polishes or water that can dissolve gesso and damage silver leafing.
