FAQs

Overmantel mirrors gained immense popularity during the nineteenth century, traditionally designed to be hung directly above a fireplace mantel to reflect light and enhance the sense of space within formal reception rooms.

Authentic period mirrors typically feature a hand-carved wooden base overlaid with gesso, a plaster-like mixture, which was then intricately moulded, burnished, and finished with gold leaf or metallic gilt paint.

Authentication involves examining the mirror plate for subtle foxing, bubbles, and uneven thickness, alongside inspecting the pine or hardwood backing boards and the aged crackled appearance of the gesso composition.

Placing the mirror above a fireplace or leaning it against a living room wall creates an impactful focal point, contrasting traditional craftsmanship with modern minimalist furniture.

Frames should be gently dusted with a soft, dry brush without using water or chemical solvents to protect the delicate gilt and gesso layers from flaking.
