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 from the 19th century is designed with a wide proportion to sit directly above a fireplace hearth, featuring timber frames finished in hand-applied gold leaf with carved architectural or foliate ornaments.

These frames were typically constructed from carved softwood or lime, coated with gesso layers, sealed with red or yellow bole clay, and finished with burnished gold leaf and mercury glass plates.

Authentic period pieces display light craquelure in the gesso, bole clay showing through worn gilding at high points, original timber backboards, and natural oxidisation or foxing spots on the mirror glass.

Positioning a giltwood mirror above a mantelpiece creates a central focal point that reflects light across the room, balancing modern clean lines with historic texture.

Dust giltwood frames gently using a dry, soft feather duster or soft brush without liquid cleaners, while cleaning the glass with a slightly dampened cloth while avoiding moisture contact with the frame.
