Where should an overmantel mirror be hung?

These mirrors traditionally anchor the wall directly above a fireplace mantel, reflecting light back into the living space. They also function effectively on principal salon walls when paired with low furniture beneath.

How do original plates differ from modern glass?

Original nineteenth-century glass plates often exhibit foxing, minor distortions, and soft reflection qualities developed over time. Modern replacement glass provides a sharper, completely uniform reflection without historical weathering.

Can these mirrors be placed on any wall?

Due to their substantial timber and gesso construction, these frames require secure wall fixings to support considerable weight safely. They suit principal reception rooms where their scale can balance high ceilings and large proportions.
