FAQs

Overmantle mirrors gained immense popularity during the 19th century, traditionally hung above fireplace mantelpieces to reflect light and amplify the sense of space in formal rooms.

These mirrors typically feature solid timber frames, often hand-carved and assembled using traditional joinery techniques, finished with gesso, paint, or traditional gilding.

Authentic pieces often display signs of age such as foxing on the glass plate, hand-planed timber boards at the back, and traditional pegged joinery within the frame construction.

Positioning the mirror above a functional fireplace or resting it against a living room wall creates an impactful focal point that bridges traditional craftsmanship with modern minimalist spaces.

Use a soft, dry cloth for dusting the carved frame and apply glass cleaner sparingly to a cloth rather than directly onto the mirror plate to prevent moisture seeping behind the silvering.
