FAQs

Regency overmantel mirrors from around 1800 typically incorporate Neoclassical architectural elements such as fluted pilasters, Corinthian capitals, decorative friezes, and classical urn motifs designed to complement grand fireplace surrounds.

These mirrors were constructed using timber frames, often pine or oak, coated with molded gesso or composition ornament and finished with water-gilded gold leaf and applied paint finishes.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut wooden backing boards, natural oxidisation or foxing on period mirror plate, and subtle wear to the gilding that reveals the clay bole beneath.

This style of mirror is designed to mount directly above a fireplace mantelpiece or position above a console table to serve as an architectural focal point in reception rooms.

Dust the gilded surfaces gently using a soft, dry camel hair brush or feather duster, avoiding moisture or chemical solvents that dissolve water-gilded gesso coatings.
