FAQs

Designed during the 19th century specifically to sit above a fireplace hearth, an overmantel mirror features a flat base designed to rest flush against a mantlepiece, paired with an arched or carved upper frame.

Traditional period examples feature carved timber bases coated in plaster or gesso moulding, finished with real gold leaf gilding over hand-cut silvered mirror glass.

Authentic period pieces exhibit natural age-related foxing on the glass, hand-finished timber backing boards, and slight wear to the gilding where the underlying red or grey clay bole shows through.

Mount the mirror directly above a mantlepiece or a wide console table, allowing the warm metallic frame to contrast against dark modern paint shades such as navy blue or charcoal.

Dust the ornate frame lightly using a dry, soft camel-hair brush, avoiding spray cleaners, water, or commercial polishes which can dissolve fragile gesso and gold leaf.
