FAQs

Overmantle mirrors gained immense popularity during the nineteenth century, designed specifically to hang above fireplace mantles to reflect candlelight and amplify natural light within formal reception rooms.

These pieces typically feature a carved wooden or pine subframe coated in multiple layers of gesso, which is then hand-carved, gilded with gold leaf, and frequently combined with ebonised finishes.

Authentic pieces often exhibit hand-beveled glass with minor oxidisation, traditional hand-applied gesso cracking, pine or softwood backing held together with old brads or screws, and structural joinery appropriate for the period.

A large architectural mirror can be mounted directly above a fireplace or leaned against a living room wall to create a dramatic focal point that expands visual space and juxtaposes historic craftsmanship with contemporary minimalism.

Gilded and gesso surfaces are extremely delicate; they should be dusted gently with a dry, soft-bristled brush or feather duster, avoiding all moisture, chemical solvents, and abrasive cloths to prevent damaging the gold leaf.
