FAQs

Nineteenth-century overmantel mirrors typically feature elaborate moulded frames, often drawing inspiration from Rococo, Baroque, or neoclassical revival designs, created to sit prominently above a fireplace.

These frames are commonly constructed from gesso and carved wood, finished with gold leaf or metallic paint over a preparation layer, paired with silvered or mercury-backed glass.

Authenticity is indicated by hand-carved detailing, aged foxing or oxidation on the mirror plate, traditional joinery at the corners, and the presence of old pine backboards with period fixings.

Mounting the piece above a fireplace or a minimalist console table creates a striking focal point, balancing contemporary clean lines with historic texture and warmth.

Preserve the gilt finish by dusting gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoiding chemical cleaners, while cleaning the glass with a non-ammonia solution applied to the cloth rather than directly to the mirror.
