FAQs

An overmantel mirror is a large decorative looking-glass specifically designed to be hung or placed on the ledge directly above a fireplace mantelpiece, gaining popularity in 18th and 19th-century British interiors to reflect candlelight and maximise natural light.

These pieces typically feature a carved wooden or gesso-on-pine foundation, finished with thin layers of gold leaf or gilt paint, and fitted with historical hand-silvered glass plates held by wooden backs.

Authenticity is determined by inspecting the reverse side for hand-adzed framing timbers, old fixings, oxidized mercury or silvering degradation on the glass plate, and traditional gesso application techniques rather than modern synthetic resins.

Placing a large gilded mirror above a fireplace creates a striking focal point, while leaning it casually against a living room wall adds architectural depth and reflects light into modern spaces.

Gilt surfaces are extremely delicate and should only be dusted lightly with a soft, dry ostrich feather duster, avoiding all chemical cleaning products, moisture, and direct sunlight to prevent flaking.
