FAQs

Overmantel mirrors from the 19th century were specifically designed to be hung or placed on the mantelpiece above a fireplace, often featuring architectural proportions and expansive glass to reflect light.

These pieces typically consist of a carved wooden substrate finished with moulded gesso and gold leaf gilding, frequently housing silvered float or sheet glass plates.

Authenticity is indicated by period-appropriate joinery, hand-carved detailing beneath the gesso, foxing or oxidisation within the mirror plate, and traditional backboards secured with old fixings.

Placing a large gilded mirror above a contemporary fireplace creates a striking juxtaposition, or leaning it unfixed against a living room wall adds architectural depth and reflects natural light.

Gilded surfaces are extremely delicate; they should be dusted gently with a soft dry brush and kept away from direct moisture and chemical cleaning agents to prevent damaging the gold leaf.
