FAQs

An overmantel mirror is a large rectangular or arched looking glass traditionally designed to be hung or placed on the mantelpiece above a fireplace, often featuring decorative frames suited to 19th-century interiors.

These mirrors were typically constructed from carved softwood or pine as a base, layered with gesso (a plaster mixture) to create fine relief details, and finished with gold leaf or metallic gilt paint.

Authentic pieces often exhibit signs of age such as foxing and oxidisation on the original mercury or silvered glass plate, hand-carved detailing, and shrinkage cracks in the gesso layer over the wooden frame.

Mounting the mirror directly above a fireplace anchor creates a striking focal point, balancing contemporary minimalist furnishings with historic texture and reflective light.

Gilt surfaces are extremely delicate; dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and avoid using chemical cleaning agents, water, or abrasive materials which can strip the gold leaf.
