Large Late Victorian Painted Overmantel Mirror

1900 - 1920
Description

A handsome and substantial late Victorian overmantel mirror, dating from the late 19th century, retaining its original timber frame and old mirror plate, later refinished in a crisp white paint finish.The architectural frame is beautifully proportioned, with a bold projecting cornice surmounted by dentil moulding above a decorative blind arcade frieze, all supported by elegant pilaster-style uprights. Inspired by Georgian classical design, it is a timeless piece that works equally well in both traditional and contemporary interiors. The mirror has been professionally repainted in white, giving it a fresh, versatile appearance while preserving the character and craftsmanship of the original Victorian frame. The generous proportions make it ideal for positioning above a fireplace, sideboard or console, where it will reflect light and create a wonderful sense of space. The rear retains its traditional boarded construction with original strengthening bar, supporting its late Victorian date.

Condition: Very good antique condition. The frame has been repainted in white and displays only minor age-related wear commensurate with its age. The mirror plate is clear and presents well, with the subtle character expected of an antique piece. Ready to hang

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
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.

Designed during the nineteenth century, overmantel mirrors were created specifically to mount directly above fireplace hearths to reflect ambient light and serve as the primary visual anchor in reception rooms.

These mirrors were constructed primarily from pine, oak, or mahogany, featuring hand-carved architectural mouldings and silvered glass mirror plates.

Authentic pieces feature period architectural elements such as cornicing or blind arcading, hand-finished joinery on the reverse timber backing, and historic painted surfaces showing natural age.

Position the mirror centrally above a living room fireplace or above a hall console table to add architectural height and enhance natural light within the room.

Dust the painted timber structure using a soft, dry microfibre cloth, and clean the glass plate with a lint-free cloth lightly dampened with water, keeping moisture away from the frame finish.
