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 gilt overmantel mirrors, popular during the mid-to-late 19th century, feature broad arched tops, ornate cartouche crestings, and detailed gesso or plaster mouldings designed to sit directly above a fireplace mantel piece.

These mirrors were crafted using carved wood frameworks layered with gesso, detailed with moulded plaster ornaments, and finished with hand-applied gold leaf over a coloured clay base known as bole.

Authentic 19th-century pieces exhibit original silvered glass with subtle foxing, evidence of hand-cut timber backing on the reverse, and natural wear where red or yellow clay bole shows through the gold leaf.

Place the mirror above a living room fireplace or positioned atop a grand dining room sideboard to add visual depth, reflect light, and introduce classic warmth to modern or traditional schemes.

Dust the gilded frame gently with a soft dry feather duster or dry microfibre cloth, strictly avoiding water or chemical polishes which can dissolve delicate water-gilded surfaces.
