FAQs

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

These mirrors typically feature a hand-carved wooden frame coated in a layer of gesso, which is a plaster-like mixture, before being meticulously water-gilt or oil-gilt with thin sheets of metallic leaf.

Authentic pieces often display signs of age such as foxing or oxidation on the original mercury or silver-nitrate mirror plate, hand-cut joinery in the timber frame, and crazing within the gesso layer.

Placing a grand gilt mirror above a modern minimalist fireplace or leaning it unhung against a plain wall creates an effective focal point that juxtaposes historical texture with clean, modern lines.

Gilded gesso surfaces are extremely delicate; they should be dusted gently with a soft, dry ostrich feather duster and strictly kept away from water, chemical cleaning agents, and direct sunlight.
