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

Regency overmantel mirrors typically draw inspiration from classical Greek and Roman architecture, featuring low-profile horizontal proportions designed to sit above a chimneypiece. Common elements include breakfront cornices with ball ornamentations, relief friezes depicting classical scenes, fluted columns or pilasters, and gilded gesso finishes.

Frame structures were built from carved softwoods such as pine or lime, coated with layers of gesso and bole before being gilded with gold leaf. The mirrors themselves were constructed using flat glass plates silvered with a mercury tin amalgam, often divided into three sections to accommodate the technological limitations of early 19th-century glass manufacturing.

Authentic Regency mirrors often show signs of aged gilding, including faint red or black bole showing through worn areas, gentle crazing on gesso surfaces, and hand-cut wooden backboards secured with square-headed nails. The original mirror glass usually displays minor oxidation, foxing, or grey spotting around the edges.

An overmantel mirror should be positioned centrally above a fireplace or architectural mantlepiece to act as a focal point in a drawing room or formal dining space. Its warm metallic finish pairs well with muted contemporary paint palettes, dark panelling, or traditional plasterwork.

Giltwood frames must be dusted gently using a dry, soft-bristled brush or clean feather duster to prevent flaking. Liquid cleaners, water, and commercial polishes should never be applied to water gilding, as moisture will dissolve the underlying gesso glue layer.
