FAQs

Overmantle mirrors gained prominence in the 18th and 19th centuries, designed specifically to hang above fireplace mantles to reflect candlelight and natural light around formal drawing rooms.

Authentic period mirrors typically feature hand-carved wooden frames finished with gold leaf or gilt gesso applied over a bolus layer, housing hand-silvered glass plates.

Authentic pieces often exhibit signs of age such as foxing on the glass, handmade timber construction at the rear, and minute crazing or wear within the gilt finish.

Positioning an overmantle mirror above a fireplace or a sideboard creates a focal point that enhances spatial depth and reflects ambient light in both traditional and modern schemes.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding chemical cleaning agents, abrasive materials, and excessive moisture to protect the fragile gold leaf surface.
