FAQs

A Victorian overmantle mirror is a large decorative mirror designed specifically to sit above a fireplace mantelpiece, designed during the nineteenth century to reflect natural light and enhance room proportions.

These frames were traditionally constructed from timber moulding and sculpted gesso, finished with layers of gold leaf over a coloured bole clay base.

Authentic period mirrors typically show natural wear revealing the underlying red or yellow bole, subtle surface cracking to the gesso, period wood backboards, and slight tarnishing or foxing to the glass.

Position the mirror above a living room fireplace, resting on a contemporary console table, or mounted above a dining room sideboard to add vertical scale and period character.

Dust the frame regularly using a dry soft brush or microfibre cloth, keeping moisture and commercial glass cleaners away from the delicate gesso and gold leaf surface.
