FAQs

18th-century overmantel mirrors are traditionally landscape-oriented, designed to be mounted directly above a fireplace mantelpiece, often featuring architectural proportions and gilded wooden frames.

These frames were typically constructed from softwood or hardwood, carved with intricate details, and finished using gesso and gold leaf applied over a bole layer, housing segmented glass plates.

Authenticity is assessed through examination of the frames construction, hand-carved details, the presence of genuine gold leaf rather than modern paint, and the characteristics of the mirrored glass, such as foxing, bevels, or old mercury backing.

An antique overmantel mirror can serve as a striking focal point above a fireplace or console table, contrasting traditional craftsmanship with contemporary minimalist surroundings to add depth and historic character.

Giltwood frames require gentle dusting with a soft, dry brush and must be kept away from direct sunlight and high humidity to prevent the fragile gesso and gold leaf from cracking or flaking.
