FAQs

An overmantel mirror is a large decorative looking-glass traditionally designed to be hung or placed on the mantelpiece above a fireplace, becoming prominent during the Victorian era for reflecting light in formal rooms.

These frames are typically crafted from carved wood or composition ornament applied to a wooden base, then finished with gold leaf or metallic paint using traditional gilding techniques.

Authentic pieces often exhibit foxing or oxidisation within the original mercury or silvered glass plate, hand-carved wooden joinery at the back, and age-related wear to the gilding.

Mounting a large ornate mirror above a fireplace or leaning it against a living room wall creates an impactful focal point, balances modern minimalist furniture, and maximises natural light.

Dust the intricate carved details gently with a soft dry brush, avoiding all liquid cleaners, abrasive cloths, and chemical solvents that could strip the delicate metallic finish.
