FAQs

An overmantel mirror is a large wall-mounted looking glass traditionally designed to hang specifically above a fireplace mantelpiece in nineteenth-century interiors, often featuring architectural arched profiles.

These pieces typically comprise a carved softwood or composition frame finished with gold leaf applied over a gesso base, housing silvered plate glass with bevelled or flat edges.

Authentic period pieces often exhibit hand-applied water gilding, foxing or oxidisation within the mirror plate, traditional joinery at the frame corners, and hand-sawn backing boards secured with old screws or nails.

Placing the mirror above a fireplace creates a focal point that reflects natural light, while contrasting its ornate gilded frame against minimalist walls introduces historical depth and texture to contemporary schemes.

Dust the gilded frame gently with a soft dry brush and clean the glass using a lint-free cloth and mild glass cleaner sprayed onto the cloth rather than directly onto the mirror to prevent moisture damage to the backing.
