FAQs

Overmantel mirrors gained prominence in the 18th and 19th centuries, specifically designed to be hung directly above fireplace mantels to reflect candlelight and natural daylight into the room.

Authentic period pieces typically feature hand-carved wooden frames, often finished with a layer of gesso before being gilded, painted, or silvered, housing hand-silvered glass plates with bevelled or flat edges.

Authenticity is indicated by historical indicators such as old mirror plate with foxing or oxidisation, hand-cut joinery, pine or hardwood secondary backing boards, and original fixings or fixative nails.

Positioning an overmantel mirror above a fireplace or a sideboard creates a focal point that amplifies light, pairing traditional patinated frames with contemporary minimalist furniture for a balanced aesthetic.

Clean the glass sparingly with a soft, lint-free cloth and mild glass cleaner applied to the cloth rather than the mirror, and avoid harsh chemicals on the delicate antique gesso or wooden frame.
