FAQs

Overmantel mirrors gained prominence in European interior design during the 18th and 19th centuries, specifically designed to be hung or placed on the mantelpiece above a fireplace to reflect candlelight and natural light around the room.

These pieces typically feature a hand-carved wooden base or a composition gesso moulded over a pine or softwood frame, finished with applied gold leaf or metallic paint over a bole ground.

Authentic period pieces often exhibit hand-beveled glass with minor oxidisation or foxing, traditional joinery on the reverse, hand-applied gesso ornamentation, and aged wood framing showing commensurate wear.

Pairing an ornate period mirror with modern, minimalist furniture creates a striking contrast that adds architectural depth, visual weight, and historic character to a contemporary space.

Gilded surfaces are delicate and should be dusted gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth. Avoid chemical cleaning agents, excessive moisture, and direct sunlight to prevent deterioration of the gold leaf.
