FAQs

Overmantel mirrors rose to prominence during the 18th and 19th centuries, specifically designed to be hung or placed on the mantelpiece above a fireplace to reflect candlelight and natural daylight around the room.

Authentic period pieces typically feature a hand-carved wooden base overlaid with gessoa chalk or plaster mixturewhich was then water-gilded or oil-gilded with gold leaf, housing historic mirror glass with silver backing.

Authenticity is determined by examining the gesso layer for natural cracking and oxidisation, inspecting the pine or hardwood construction behind the frame, and checking for hand-beveled or uneven historic mirror glass.

These mirrors serve as dramatic focal points when mounted above a fireplace or leaned casually against a living room wall to contrast historical ornamentation with contemporary minimalism.

Gilt surfaces are extremely delicate and should only be dusted lightly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth, avoiding all liquid cleaners, commercial polishes, and direct moisture.
