We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
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.

An Edwardian overmantel mirror is a decorative wall mirror designed specifically to sit directly above a fireplace mantelpiece, popularised in the early 20th century. These pieces typically feature architectural cresting, scrollwork, and integrated display brackets for ceramics or decorative objects.

Overmantel mirrors were commonly crafted from softwoods like pine or hardwoods such as mahogany and walnut, often finished with paint, lacquer, or gold leaf gilding. The frames incorporated hand-cut timber joinery, glass mirror plates, and moulded plaster or carved wood ornaments.

Authentic period examples feature hand-assembled timber backings secured with iron tacks, natural age-related foxing on the glass, and hand-carved details. Original painted finishes often show natural wear, fine craquelure, and minor timber shrinkage along joint lines.

Mount the mirror centrally above a chimney breast, sideboard, or console table to reflect natural light and create a clear focal point. Pair the painted frame with modern ceramics or foliage to create balance between period detail and contemporary design.

Dust the carved frame regularly using a dry, soft brush or microfibre cloth to clean recessed areas without lifting delicate paint layers. Clean the glass by applying cleaner directly to a cloth rather than spraying the frame to prevent moisture damage behind the mouldings.
