FAQs

Overmantel mirrors gained immense popularity during the 19th century, specifically designed to be hung or rested on the mantelpiece above a fireplace to reflect candlelight and natural daylight into drawing rooms.

These mirrors typically feature a hand-carved wooden base overlaid with gesso and gold leaf. The glass plates from this period are often hand-silvered and may exhibit subtle imperfections or foxing.

Authentic pieces often show signs of age in the gilding, such as micro-cracking in the gesso, hand-cut joinery at the frame corners, and older mirror plates with slight oxidation around the edges.

Resting an overmantel mirror on a mantelpiece or leaning it directly against a living room wall creates an effortless, layered aesthetic that introduces light and historical contrast to modern spaces.

Dust the gilded frame gently with a dry, soft brush and avoid using water or chemical solvents on the gesso finish. The glass can be cleaned sparingly with a mild glass cleaner applied to a cloth rather than directly to the mirror.
