FAQs

An overmantel mirror is a large wall mirror designed specifically to sit directly above a fireplace mantelpiece, popularised during the 18th and 19th centuries to reflect light across reception rooms.

Traditional 19th-century frames were constructed from carved timber or pine covered in gesso, finished with gold leaf applied using water or oil gilding techniques.

Authentic period pieces feature subtle red or grey clay bole showing through worn gilding, gesso texture beneath the surface, hand-carved joinery, and original wooden backboards.

Position the mirror above a contemporary or period fireplace mantel to create a central focal point, or mount it above a hallway console table to enhance natural light.

Dust the frame gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or camel-hair brush, avoiding water, liquid cleaners, or chemical solvents that could dissolve the gesso layer or strip the gold leaf.
