Overmantle Mirrors

An overmantle mirror is one of the most transformative pieces you can place in a living room, dining room, or bedroom. Positioned above a mantelpiece, it draws the eye upward, reflects light back into the space, and gives even a modest room a greater sense of proportion. Our collection brings together a carefully chosen range of styles, shapes, and finishes — so whether your fireplace is a period original or a contemporary feature wall, you’ll find a mirror here that feels made for the spot.

Styles, Shapes and Finishes in Our Overmantle Mirror Range
We carry overmantle mirrors in a broad sweep of design styles. You’ll find clean-lined modern frames in matt black or brushed silver sitting alongside richly detailed period pieces in antiqued gold and champagne tones. An arched overmantle mirror is a particularly popular choice — the soft curve at the top echoes the proportions of traditional fireplaces and adds an elegant focal point without overwhelming the wall. We also stock rectangular and shaped designs for mantels where a more geometric look works best. Finishes range from distressed and vintage-effect frames through to high-gloss lacquer and natural wood, with widths typically spanning from around 70 cm up to statement pieces well over a metre across.

Choosing the Right Overmantle Mirror for Your Space
The key measurement is the width of your mantelpiece. In our experience, the most balanced look comes from choosing a mirror that sits comfortably within the mantel’s edges — roughly two-thirds to three-quarters of its width. A mirror that’s too narrow can look lost; one that’s too wide may crowd the chimney breast. Think about the room’s overall style, too. For a heritage scheme, an ornate mirror with swept detailing or gilded accents will complement mouldings and period furniture beautifully. If your room leans towards a grander aesthetic, our baroque mirror collection offers frames with real presence — bold scrollwork and layered carving that command attention. And for homes with original Edwardian or late-nineteenth-century features, pairing an arched overmantle mirror with pieces from our Victorian mirror range can tie an entire room together.
Consider function as well as form. In a darker room, positioning an overmantle mirror opposite or adjacent to a window will bounce natural light deep into the space. In a dining room, a wider frame at a slight downward angle can reflect candlelight from the table below — a simple trick that lifts the atmosphere of any evening gathering.
