FAQs

An overmantel mirror is a wide decorative wall mirror designed specifically to sit directly above a fireplace mantelpiece, popularised in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to reflect light and expand visual space in reception rooms.

Traditional giltwood mirrors feature carved timber frames coated in layers of gesso and bole, over which genuine thin gold leaf is applied and hand-burnished for a rich metallic lustre.

Authentic period pieces often exhibit genuine wear to the gilding showing the reddish-brown bole underlayer, alongside hand-carved joinery on the wooden reverse rather than modern moulded plaster or resin.

Position the mirror centrally above a chimney breast or console table, pairing its ornate detailing with clean-lined contemporary furniture or neutral wall palettes to create a balanced focal point.

Dust gently with a soft, dry camel-hair brush or feather duster; avoid using liquid solvents, glass cleaners, or water on the gilded surface, as moisture can dissolve historic gesso and detach gold leaf.
