FAQs

Overmantel mirrors gained prominence during the 18th and 19th centuries, specifically designed to be hung on the wall directly above a fireplace mantel to reflect candlelight and natural light around the room.

These mirrors typically feature a hand-carved wooden base overlaid with gesso, a plaster-like mixture, which is then intricately moulded and gilded with gold leaf or metallic paint.

Authentic pieces often display hand-applied gesso over timber, subtle shrinkage cracks in the surface, foxing or oxidisation on the original mercury or silvered glass plate, and traditional hand-cut joinery on the reverse.

Place it above a fireplace to anchor the room, or lean it against a bare wall to add architectural depth, combining it with minimalist contemporary furniture to create a striking contrast.

Dust gently with a soft, dry brush and avoid chemical cleaning agents, moisture, or direct sunlight, as these can damage the fragile gesso and flaking gold leaf.
