FAQs

An overmantel mirror is a decorative architectural mirror designed specifically to sit above a fireplace mantelpiece, widely produced during the Victorian era to reflect light and enhance room proportions.

19th-century gilt mirrors are constructed using a carved timber structure layered with plaster or composition details, coated in a clay bole base, and finished with applied gold leaf and silvered glass.

Authentic pieces display signs of natural age, including fine craquelure across the gesso surface, red or grey clay bole showing through worn gilding, and original timber backboards fastened with historical nails.

Mount the mirror above a fireplace hearth, chimney breast, or wide console table to serve as a structural focal point that bridges traditional craftsmanship with contemporary decor.

Clean the gilded frame using a dry soft-bristled brush or dry microfibre cloth, ensuring no liquid cleaners or damp rags touch the delicate water-gilded surface.
