FAQs

Overmantle mirrors gained immense popularity during the Victorian era, designed specifically to hang above fireplace mantles to reflect light and enhance the sense of space in formal reception rooms.

Authentic period pieces typically feature a wooden construction, often pine or hardwood, overlaid with hand-carved gesso details that were subsequently gilded with gold leaf or painted.

Authenticity is determined by examining the mirror plate for foxing and silver oxidation, checking the pine or hardwood backing boards for age-related shrinkage, and inspecting the hand-applied gesso for traditional tool marks.

These pieces function as striking focal points when positioned centrally above a fireplace or utilized on a large wall to anchor minimalist furniture schemes and bounce natural light around the room.

Maintain the integrity of the piece by keeping it away from direct sunlight and damp environments, and clean the fragile gilt surface only with a dry, soft microfibre cloth without using liquid chemicals.
