Small 19th Century Gilt Overmantle Mirror
About the Item
A Very Attractive Mid 19th Century Giltwood & Gesso Overmantle Mirror, Of Unusually Small Proportions, Having Replacement Triple Mirror Plates Within Ebonised Reeded Slips, Encompassed By Well Carved, Elegant, Half Turned Columns To Border.
As the name suggests overmantle mirrors were made to sit on, or just above the mantelpiece in large Georgian, Regency & Victorian homes. They were nearly always low and wide so as to fill the space in an attractive fashion. They come in many different shapes, designs, sizes and qualities and this is a particularly pleasant example without being overly elaborate and overpowering. It is also an excellent small size making it much more versatile than many.
Overall the condition is very good, with just the expected old marks, scrapes, scuffs and digs which are now blended into the surface around the frame and replaced mirror plates. These mirror plates are not brand new, indeed best guess would be that they may be 50 to 80 years old, therefore there is a nice bit of aging on them whilst they still remain very much functional.
As with all items which we offer for sale this mirror has been attended to in our workshops by our trained antique furniture restorers, ensuring it is in its best possible condition and ready for immediate placement in the home before being placed on sale.
