FAQs

Overmantel mirrors gained widespread popularity during the nineteenth century, specifically designed to be hung directly above fireplace mantelpieces to reflect candlelight and maximise natural light within a room.

Authentic period pieces typically feature hand-carved wooden frames finished with gesso and gold leaf, housing heavy plate glass with bevelled edges secured by original wooden backing boards.

Authenticity is indicated by the presence of hand-applied gilt, minor oxidisation and foxing within the mercury or silvered glass, hand-cut joinery, and period-appropriate hardware on the reverse.

Mounting the mirror above a fireplace or leaning it against a feature wall adds architectural depth and reflects light, creating a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and modern minimal furnishings.

Maintain the frame by dusting gently with a soft dry brush, avoiding liquid cleaners or abrasive cloths on the fragile gilt surface, and clean the glass sparingly using a cloth slightly dampened with distilled water.
