Where should I hang a large overmantel mirror?

These expansive mirrors find their traditional home directly above a drawing room fireplace, where their width balances the hearth below. They also work well on principal dining room walls to reflect light and create a sense of greater space.

How do I distinguish an 18th-century piece from a revival copy?

Original period pieces show distinct tool marks behind the frame and timber shrinkage appropriate to age. Revival versions from the Victorian or Edwardian eras often use different secondary woods and modern backing techniques.

What is Chinese Chippendale style?

This aesthetic draws heavily on Asian design motifs, featuring pagoda roofs, rustic lattice work, and exotic bird carvings. It represents a playful, highly ornate branch of mid-18th-century cabinet making.

Are these mirrors heavy to hang?

Gilded wood and dense mahogany frames carry considerable weight due to their solid timber construction and glass plates. Secure wall fixings into masonry or structural studs are essential for safe installation.
