FAQs

Overmantel mirrors gained prominence in the 18th and 19th centuries, designed specifically to hang above fireplace mantelpieces to reflect candlelight and maximise natural light within a room.

Traditional overmantel mirrors feature hand-carved wooden frames coated in gessoa plaster-like mixtureand finished with gold leaf or metallic paint, often housing hand-silvered glass plates with bevelled edges.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit age-related foxing or oxidisation within the mirror glass, hand-cut construction marks on the wooden backing, and intricate gesso mouldings that show natural wear patterns over time.

An ornate gilt mirror creates a striking focal point when mounted above a modern fireplace or paired with minimalist furniture to create a balanced contrast between historical craftsmanship and clean lines.

Dust the frame gently with a soft, dry microfibre brush, avoiding chemical cleaners or excess moisture which can damage the delicate gesso and gold leaf finish.
