The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

An overmantel mirror is a large mirror specifically proportioned to sit or hang directly above a fireplace mantelpiece, an architectural feature that gained immense popularity during the Victorian era to reflect candlelight across living spaces.

Frames were typically constructed from pine or softwood, covered with plaster or composition mouldings to form intricate relief details, and finished with gold leaf applied over a bole clay base.

Authentic pieces generally feature original mercury or early silvered glass with natural foxing, hand-planked pine backboards, and gentle wear on the gilding where the red or grey bole clay layer shows through.

Position the mirror directly above a fireplace or a minimalist console table to create an architectural focal point, allowing the detailed gold frame to contrast against painted walls.

Dust the frame regularly using a dry, soft-bristled brush or feather duster, avoiding liquids or chemical glass cleaners which can permanently dissolve or lift thin gold leaf.
