FAQs

Nineteenth-century overmantel mirrors were specifically designed to be hung on the wall directly above a fireplace mantelpiece, often featuring architectural elements like columns, friezes, and arched tops to visually expand the room.

These pieces typically consist of a carved pine or hardwood base structure coated in a layer of gesso, which was then hand-gilded with gold leaf or painted, housing heavy plate glass with silver backing.

Authenticity is indicated by hand-carved detailing, subtle imperfections in the gesso, foxing or oxidisation within the mirror glass, and old timber backing boards secured with traditional fixings.

Positioning the mirror above a fireplace or anchoring it against a plain wall allows its scale and reflective properties to serve as a dramatic focal point while blending historical craftsmanship with contemporary design.

Maintain the piece by dusting gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth, avoiding chemical cleaning agents, and keeping it away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture to protect the fragile gesso and gilding.
