The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Developed during the mid-18th century in Britain, Chippendale overmantel mirrors feature Rococo-inspired scrolling foliage, C-scrolls, floral motifs, and a wide horizontal format, often incorporating multi-plate glass panels framed by carved giltwood.

These mirrors were typically crafted from hand-carved pine or lime wood, coated with gesso, and layered with thin sheets of gold leaf using water gilding techniques over mercury-backed glass plates.

Authentic period pieces demonstrate hand-carved backings, soft pine or oak backboards showing hand-saw marks, natural oxidisation on the original gilding, and antique mirror glass with subtle dark spotting or greyish reflections.

Position the mirror above a contemporary fireplace or a sleek console table to contrast intricate 18th-century ornamentation against clean, modern architectural lines and neutral wall paint.

Dust the carved frame gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding water or liquid chemical cleaners, which can dissolve the water-soluble gesso ground beneath the delicate gold leaf.
