FAQs

Overmantel mirrors gained immense popularity during the 19th century, specifically designed to be hung or placed on the mantelpiece above a fireplace to reflect candlelight and amplify natural light within period reception rooms.

Authentic period pieces typically feature a hand-carved wooden frame overlaid with gessoa chalk or plaster-based mixturewhich was then water-gilded or oil-gilded with genuine metal leaf.

Authenticity is determined by examining the construction joints, the presence of hand-beveled or old silvered mirror glass with characteristic foxing, and the application of gesso over carved wood rather than modern synthetic resins.

An antique gold mirror adds a striking focal point and a sense of architectural depth when juxtaposed against minimalist contemporary furniture or placed lean-to style on a living room wall.

To protect delicate water-gilt surfaces and historical gesso, avoid using liquid chemical cleaners, keep the piece away from direct sunlight and humidity, and dust gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth.
