Where should I place an overmantel mirror?

An overmantel mirror suits a central position above a fireplace or along the main wall of a reception room. The large proportions and gilt details reflect natural light into the space, creating a sense of depth and balance.

Are these mirrors made of solid mahogany?

Many examples utilise solid mahogany or walnut for the primary frame construction and fret-cut borders. Later revival pieces sometimes incorporate veneers over secondary timbers while maintaining the traditional appearance on the surface.

How do I tell an 18th-century mirror from a revival piece?

Eighteenth-century pieces display hand-cut joinery, oxidized timber patination, and older mirror plates with minor imperfections. Revival pieces from the Victorian or Edwardian eras typically feature cleaner secondary woods and machine-assisted precision in the fretwork.
