FAQs

An overmantel mirror is a large decorative looking-glass specifically designed to be hung or placed on the mantelpiece above a fireplace, often featuring architectural proportions characteristic of the 19th century.

These mirrors were typically constructed from softwood or hardwood frames treated with ebonisation to simulate expensive ebony, then highlighted with gold leaf or gilt details using traditional water-gilding or oil-gilding techniques.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit hand-bevelled or slightly irregular mirror glass showing foxing, traditional joinery methods at the frame corners, and aged hand-applied gesso and gilding rather than modern synthetic finishes.

Such a mirror can be mounted directly above a fireplace or leaned against a living room wall to add architectural depth, create a focal point, and reflect natural light into the space.

The glass should be cleaned sparingly using a soft microfiber cloth and a mild, ammonia-free glass cleaner applied to the cloth rather than directly to the glass, avoiding harsh chemicals on the fragile ebonised and gilt frame.
