FAQs

An Adam style overmantel mirror is a Neoclassical wall mirror designed to sit directly above a fireplace mantel, characterised by classical symmetry, fluted pilasters, and refined moulding inspired by 18th-century architect Robert Adam.

Victorian gilt mirrors typically feature a wooden frame covered with molded composition or plaster ornamentation, coated in gesso, and finished with applied gold leaf over a clay bole base.

Authentic pieces display historical construction features such as backboards with hand-sawn timber, subtle surface wear or dark foxing on the silvered glass, and natural rub-through on the gilding exposing the underlying bole.

Position the mirror above a contemporary or period fireplace to create a striking focal point, framing it with simple ceramic vases or minimalist candleholders to balance the detailed gilded frame.

Dust the gilded frame gently with a soft dry feather duster or microfibre cloth, avoiding water, solvents, or liquid cleaners that can dissolve gesso and detach fragile gold leaf.
