Do you like antique mirrors?
10 years ago
Luxurious and chock full of individuality, antique mirrors are like the cooler hipper younger sister of mirrors! But their distressed look isn't for everyone and some of us like to stick what we know.
So, where do you stand on antique mirrors?

Do you like going antique shopping?
Comments (2)I Used to go with my mum when I was young and quite enjoyed it. I do always pop in an antique shop now if I pass one (normally to attempt to find a ginger jar!) but I find the majority of them are filled with tat and not what I would personally class an antique (not keen in the smell either!). We had a salvage yard open near us recently and the amount they are charging off the back of the upcycling trend is ridiculous. They had vintage metal signs which were literally corroded to pieces for £400. I love industriał style pieces but that is taking it a bit too far!...See MoreMirror suggestions?

Comments (9)The wallpaper is Sanderson swallows. Loved it and found it on here. I did want the TV above the mantle but I've been told no! If anyone knows where reasonably priced mirrors can be obtained we would be grateful. Attached is now our light fittings which we think looks good...See MoreAntiqued Wall Mirror
Comments (3)I really like it, very contemporary. It might be a little awkward to use if you need to get close up for make up / shaving etc in a bathroom setting, because you need to angle yourself in to one of the non-antiqued spaces to see properly. Could you have more of a plain patch in the middle with abstract antiquing around the outside, it would be a little more versatile....See MoreAntique mirrored glass kitchen splashback
Comments (19)Toughened vs non-toughened have been a dilemma for kitchen owners for a while. The objective truth is that yes toughened glass is stronger and heat resistant, but due to significant price difference sometimes it makes sense to take risk and just replace mirror in case of breakage, which will still be cheaper than buying full toughened from the beginning, especially taking in consideration that non-tgh antique is stock product and you don’t need to wait for 2-3 weeks for production. If you are looking for simple coloured or printed glass, then definitely go for toughened since price difference is insignificant and it’s not only safer and heat resistant, but also 4-5 times stronger to impact which is good against accidental hits. The other important fact is that broken mirror can bring you bad luck for 7 years!:) so only choose professionals for your installation. We are now producing probably over 100 splashbacks per month with fair share of toughned mirrors so happy to help!...See More
