The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

An overmantel mirror is a large, decorative wall mirror specifically proportioned and styled to hang directly above a fireplace mantelpiece, originating in 17th-century Europe to reflect light across grand reception rooms.

These pieces were typically constructed with a carved timber frame coated in gesso, a plaster-like mixture of chalk and glue, which permitted intricate relief mouldings before being gilded or painted.

Authentic 19th-century mirrors feature original timber backing panels, hand-carved detailing, natural age-related craquelure or wear on the gesso layer, and slight foxing or oxidisation on the mirror glass.

Position the mirror centrally above a fireplace hearth or a minimalist console table to create an architectural focal point, balancing its detailed frame with understated contemporary decor.

Dust the frame gently using a soft, dry bristle brush or microfibre cloth, keeping moisture away from the porous gesso structure, and avoid applying harsh glass cleaners directly to the reflective glass.
