FAQs

Nineteenth-century overmantel mirrors typically feature large arched frames designed to be positioned directly above a fireplace mantelpiece, often incorporating classical motifs such as scrolls, urns, or shells.

These mirrors were traditionally constructed using a carved timber frame, often softwood like pine or hardwood, coated with layers of gesso that were hand-gilded with gold leaf or finished with metallic paint.

Authenticity is identified through period construction indicators such as hand-beveled glass showing slight imperfections, original backboards secured with old screws or nails, and the natural crazing or oxidisation of the gesso and gilding.

Positioning a large antique mirror above a modern fireplace or leaning it against a living room wall creates a striking focal point, reflecting natural light and contrasting classical texture with minimalist decor.

Gilt surfaces are extremely delicate and should be dusted gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth; avoid using water, chemical solvents, or abrasive cleaners which can strip the thin gold leaf layer.
