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

Rococo overmantel mirrors are defined by asymmetrical scrollwork, shell motifs, floral flourishes, and elaborate mouldings designed to sit directly above a fireplace hearth.

These mirrors feature a timber substrate coated in gessoa mix of binder and chalk or gypsumwhich was carved or moulded before applying paint or leaf metal finish.

Authentic pieces exhibit fine surface craquelure, subtle cracking where timber joints move, wear on raised moulding areas, and substantial weight from solid substrate.

Position the mirror centrally above a fireplace mantelpiece or mount it above a hallway console table to introduce architectural scale and bounce natural light.

Dust gently using a dry, soft camel-hair brush, avoiding water or liquid cleaning agents that can soften or dissolve water-soluble gesso layers.
