Mirror and the mantelpiece | Home Furniture Land

It was from the late 17th century onwards that framed mirrors started to play an ever increasing and important role in the decoration of our rooms. Framed mirrors from this date where usually ivory, tortoiseshell, ebony or silver. They even framed mirrors with veneer also using marquetry of walnut, olive and laburnum.

It soon became the tradition of incorporating framed mirrors above the mantelpiece, the early versions of these designed framed mirrors became known as overmantels.
