FAQs

A Victorian overmantle mirror is a large wall mirror traditionally designed to hang on the wall directly above a fireplace mantelpiece, serving to reflect light and visually expand the room.

These frames were typically constructed from carved softwoods or hardwoods, finished with gesso and applied leaf gilding, often featuring decorative moulded details and hand-bevelled glass plates.

Authentic period pieces often exhibit hand-applied gold leaf, foxing or oxidisation on the original mercury or silvered glass plates, traditional joinery on the reverse, and heavy timber backing boards secured with old fixings.

Placing a large antique gilt mirror above a minimalist fireplace or leaning it against a plain wall creates a striking focal point, balancing historic craftsmanship with modern clean lines.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding chemical cleaning agents, water, or abrasive materials which can strip or damage the delicate historic water-gilding or composition ornament.
