The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

An overmantel mirror from this period is designed specifically to mount above a fireplace hearth or mantelpiece, featuring an arched or rectangular frame crafted from wood decorated with molded gesso and applied gold leaf.

These mirrors were constructed using a carved timber frame coated with gesso plaster, layered with gold leaf gilding, and fitted with silvered or mercury-backed mirror glass.

Authentic period pieces show subtle signs of age including fine cracking in the gesso, natural oxidisation, areas where reddish bole clay shows through worn gold leaf, and hand-cut backboards.

Position the mirror directly above a living room fireplace, a hallway console table, or a dining room sideboard to serve as an architectural focal point and amplify ambient light.

Dust the gilded frame using a dry soft brush, avoiding water or chemical cleaning solutions that dissolve gold leaf, and clean the glass gently with a microfibre cloth damp with water.
