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

A Victorian archtop overmantel mirror is a large wall mirror crafted during the 19th century specifically to sit directly above a fireplace mantelpiece, featuring a rounded top edge and a gilded wood moulding.

These mirrors were constructed using timber substrate frames coated with shaped gesso moulding, finished with real gold leaf gilding, and fitted with silvered mirror glass.

Authentic 19th-century examples display solid timber backing boards, signs of subtle age-related oxidisation or surface wear on the gilding, and slight foxing on the glass reflection.

Placing a gilded archtop mirror above a fireplace or low sideboard creates contrast against contemporary colour schemes while reflecting natural light across the space.

Giltwood frames should only be dusted using a soft dry brush, avoiding water or chemical polishing agents that damage delicate gesso and gold leaf layers.
