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

Gilt overmantel mirrors became prominent architectural features during the 18th and 19th centuries, designed specifically to sit atop fireplace mantels to reflect candlelight and visually expand formal reception rooms.

Frames from this period were typically constructed from hand-carved pine or lime wood coated in gesso plaster, which was then detailed and finished with gold leaf applied over a clay base known as bole.

Authentic pieces feature pine backboards, natural wear revealing red or grey clay bole under the gilding, and subtle oxidisation or desilvered specks on the original mirror glass.

Positioning the mirror above a living room fireplace mantlepiece or resting it on a grand hallway console table creates an anchor point while reflecting natural light across contemporary interiors.

Dust the frame gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding water, liquid cleaners, or abrasive cloths that can dissolve gesso moulding or strip away delicate gold leaf.
