FAQs

Overmantle mirrors originated in the 17th and 18th centuries, specifically designed to be hung or placed on the mantelpiece above a fireplace to reflect candlelight and brighten rooms.

Traditional mirrors typically feature a hand-carved wooden frame, often coated in gesso and gilt or painted finish, housing a bevelled or flat silvered glass plate.

Authentic pieces often display period-appropriate joinery, oxidisation and foxing on the mirror plate, hand-mixed paints or gesso application, and heavy timber construction at the rear.

Positioning the mirror above a functional or decorative fireplace anchors the room, while leaning it casually against a wall introduces textural contrast and reflects natural light to create spatial depth.

Dust the carved frame gently with a soft, dry brush and clean the mirror plate using a microfibre cloth with a neutral cleaner, avoiding harsh chemicals that can damage aged gesso surfaces.
