FAQs

Overmantel mirrors gained prominence during the 18th and 19th centuries, designed specifically to hang above fireplace mantelpieces to reflect candlelight and amplify natural light within formal reception rooms.

Authentic pieces typically feature a carved wooden base frame covered in gessoa mixture of plaster of Paris and gluewhich is then hand-gilded with thin sheets of gold leaf.

Authentic pieces often display hand-beveled glass with minor foxing or oxidation, visible joinery at the frame corners, and aged pine or hardwood backing boards secured with period fixings.

Positioning the piece above a fireplace mantel or anchoring it low against a plain wall creates a striking focal point, balancing minimalist modern furnishings with traditional texture.

Dust the gilded frame gently with a soft, dry feather duster and avoid applying liquid cleaners or abrasive cloths, which can permanently damage the delicate gold leaf and gesso layers.
