FAQs

Victorian overmantle mirrors typically feature generous proportions designed to sit above a fireplace, often incorporating classical architectural motifs, heavy moulding, and elaborate gilt or painted finishes.

They are traditionally constructed from softwood or hardwood frames, finished with gesso and gold leaf or paint, and fitted with hand-silvered glass plates held securely by wooden backing boards.

Authenticity is indicated by the presence of old hand-blown or early plate glass with minor oxidation, period joinery methods such as tongue-and-groove backing boards, and hand-applied gesso rather than modern resin casts.

Placing an antique mirror above a modern fireplace or minimalist mantelpiece creates a striking contrast that adds architectural depth, reflects natural light, and anchors the rooms design scheme.

Gilded and painted frames should be cleaned exclusively with a soft, dry ostrich feather duster or microfiber cloth, avoiding liquid cleaners, chemical sprays, and direct sunlight to prevent degradation of the metallic leaf.
