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

An overmantel mirror is an architectural wall mirror designed specifically to sit directly above a fireplace mantelpiece, originating in the 17th century and gaining widespread adoption during the Victorian era to reflect light across grand reception rooms.

These mirrors typically feature a softwood or pine core layered with gesso, a mixture of chalk and animal glue, which was molded or hand-carved before gold leaf was applied using traditional water or oil gilding techniques.

Authentic period pieces generally exhibit timber backboards fastened with square hand-cut nails, fine seam lines across the gold leafing, age-appropriate craquelure within the gesso, and natural oxidisation spots on the glass.

Positioning an arched gilt mirror above a contemporary fireplace or mounting it above a minimal sideboard creates a strong focal point, balancing historic detail with modern interior lines.

Dust the gilded frame using a soft brush or feather duster, avoiding water or liquid chemical cleaners which dissolve the delicate gesso substrate and loosen the applied gold leaf.
