This was a No29 Pier Glass Mirror that we made for Mrs P. She wanted something a lot wider than our standard size.

“…We love it and it supplements the furnishings in the room very nicely. Thank you for your help.”

These mirrors were specially made for Mr and Mrs Johnson. They are a combination of our No62 Bulls-eye mirror and our No34 regency frame section. They suit being free-hung (opposed to mounted on the fireplace) as they have the same moulding all the way around the glass.

Just a quick note to say how delighted we are with our mirror.

The size and proportions are spot on and I am glad that we took your advice and looked at several different options in situ.

On both occasions, your delivery and installation guys were excellent.

Many thanks

This is a specially made version of our no32 Regency Chinoisierie Mirror. We made it larger than the standard size as we felt that the proportions really suited the intricate frieze. The Frieze has been painted Black/Peat and the finish is Dutch Gold Leaf.

This is a detail shot from a new style of Archtop that we are making. This Archtop is based on the old Georgian styles that had a slightly flatter archtop profile. The Victorian archtop has a more ‘domed’ top, with a more accentuated arch. This style is very simple, with all of the elegance coming from the very appealing shape. More pictures to come, so watch this space!

No20 Large Gilt Regency mirror in Antique Silver Finish. This Regency frame looks brilliant in Antique Silver. The finish really helps to make the frame look more contemporary, but still retains the imposing Period detail.

This frame is seen mounted on the wall going through the Picture Rail. The customer felt that it wasw important to maintain the proportions of the frame, and so he ignored the Picture rail.

Overmantels Ltd fit this frame. To see more frames like this, please follow the link below:
