FAQs

Overmantel mirrors gained widespread popularity during the 18th and 19th centuries, specifically designed to be hung or placed directly above a fireplace mantel to reflect candlelight and natural daylight around the room.

These pieces typically feature a wooden sub-frame covered in layered gesso and gilt, often paired with hand-silvered glass plates that display characteristic ageing and foxing over time.

Authentic period pieces often show signs of age such as minor oxidisation in the glass, hand-carved detailing beneath the gesso layer, and traditional joinery or backboards consistent with nineteenth-century manufacturing techniques.

Placing a large antique mirror above a fireplace or leaning it against a living room wall creates an effective focal point that bounces light and bridges traditional and contemporary design aesthetics.

Maintain the integrity of the antique finish by dusting gently with a dry, soft cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners, and keeping the piece away from direct, prolonged moisture and strong direct sunlight.
