FAQs

Overmantel mirrors gained immense popularity during the 18th and 19th centuries, specifically designed to be hung directly above a fireplace mantel to reflect light and enhance the sense of space in reception rooms.

Authentic period pieces typically feature a hand-carved wooden or composition gesso frame, finished with gold leaf or gilding, housing heavy float glass with traditional silvering that often shows natural oxidisation.

Authentication relies on examining the frame construction, old joinery methods, the weight and characteristics of the glass plate, and signs of age such as foxing or minor wear to the gilt finish.

They can be mounted directly above a fireplace or leaned casually against a wall on top of a sideboard to add verticality, reflect natural light, and create a striking focal point in contemporary or traditional spaces.

Maintain the piece by dusting gently with a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding chemical cleaning agents on the fragile gilt surface, and protecting the antique glass and backing from moisture.
