FAQs

A Victorian overmantel mirror is designed specifically to sit above a fireplace mantelpiece, featuring a flat base and often an arched top frame adorned with gilding or ornate mouldings popular in nineteenth-century interiors.

Traditional gilt mirrors from the nineteenth century were typically constructed with a carved pine or lime wood core covered in gesso plaster, which was then water-gilded or oil-gilded with gold leaf.

Authentic period pieces often show light foxing or silver oxidation on the mirror glass, natural wear on the gilt surface exposing underlying red bole plaster, and hand-cut wooden backboards.

Positioning a large gilt mirror above a fireplace hearth or atop a modern console table creates a clear focal point, reflecting light and adding warm metallic contrast to contemporary neutral spaces.

Avoid using liquid chemical cleaners on the gilded frame, opting instead for a soft feather duster or dry microfibre cloth, and clean the glass surfaces carefully using damp cotton wool to protect delicate gesso.
