FAQs

Victorian overmantel mirrors were designed during the 19th century to be hung specifically on the wall directly above a fireplace mantel, often matching the grand proportions of period domestic architecture.

Authentic period pieces typically feature a hand-carved wooden frame coated in gesso and finished with applied gold leaf, holding a heavy plate glass mirror secured with wooden backing boards.

Authenticity is indicated by heavy foxing or silvering degradation on the glass, hand-cut joinery in the wooden frame, traditional gesso application, and old flat-head or handmade iron screws on the back.

Positioning the mirror above a modern minimalist fireplace or leaning it unhung against a plain wall creates a dramatic focal point that bridges historical grandeur with clean contemporary lines.

Dust the frame gently with a soft, dry brush to protect the delicate gold leaf, and clean the glass using a lint-free cloth and a mild glass cleaner sprayed onto the cloth rather than directly onto the mirror.
