Antique Gilded Overmantel Mirror Arched Wall Mirror H155cm

19th century
For Sale by Spinka & Co
Description

K0598 A large XIXth century giltwood wall mirror, having arched glass with minor imperfections in finely carved, moulded and gilded frame with leafy scrolls to the base adorn with floral crest to the top. This antique mirror retains its gilt with touching up over the years and replacement backboards. Over time, parts of the original gilt finish have been touched up, likely to refresh areas of age-related wear. This has been sympathetically done and does not detract from the overall visual impact, instead contributing to the mirror’s layered history, charm and antique character. Very attractive and well made piece with wonderfully atmospheric and authentic antique look. No loose elements, solid and sturdy. No woodworm. Soft and mellow colour, good patina.. Fitted with four wall fixing brackets, all in home ready condition.c1850 Please view our full extensive selection of mirrors and other antique furniture in good condition.

FAQs

Arched overmantel mirrors from the 19th century typically feature a flat bottom edge to rest on a fireplace mantel, an arched upper frame, and ornate top crestings such as foliate cartouches, shells, or floral motifs. Inspired by Louis Philippe and Rococo styles, they were designed to draw light into formal reception rooms.

Traditional frames were constructed from carved pine or oak covered with gesso, a plaster-like compound used to build up detail. Water gilding using micro-thin layers of gold leaf over clay bole (often red or yellow) created a burnished, reflective surface, while the mirror plate was backed with glass and mercury or silvering.

Authentic pieces usually display natural wear, showing the underlying red or yellow bole clay through the gilding. They often feature hand-cut wooden backing boards, slight dark spots or foxing within the glass plate, and visible seam joins in the carved frame elements.

Position the flat base directly above a chimney breast mantelpiece to anchor a room, or mount it over a hallway console table to create visual height. Pairing ornate gold framing with neutral wall shades or contemporary muted tones creates a striking contrast between historic detail and modern aesthetics.

Dust giltwood frames gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush or microfibre cloth, avoiding liquids or chemical polish that dissolve gesso and gold leaf. Clean glass surfaces carefully with a damp cloth, ensuring no water seeps behind the frame moulding.
