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?

Comments (5)Hi guys, Yes I plan on putting shelves in (or the glass holders that hold the glass by its stem) but wanted to decorate the back first. Will have a look at that site and also look for DIY options. I'm sure it involves acid - hence why I didn't want to try it myself....See MoreAntique mirrors - hot or not?
Comments (13)Decorating with Vintage Mirrors They may say it`s all smoke & mirrors but mirrors really do offer brilliant solutions to a wide range of interior design problems. Unlike art or photography, which people can have opinions about, no one objects to a mirror. This elegant vintage console table with matching mirror is attributed to Pierre Cardin. Not only timeless, mirrors are also easy to coordinate. Reflecting their surroundings, they go with everything. Well-placed mirrors can make dark spaces seem lighter, tight spaces feel larger and dull spaces shinier. They can double the pleasure of a beautiful view, deflect attention from an unsightly one and add glamour without being gaudy. Nothing compares to the flattering illumination from a vintage backlit mirror. This Lucite oval illuminated wall mirror by Erco is from the 1970`s. Below this 1970`s illumintate wall mirror by German maker Hillebrand, is a playful re-interpretation of the backlit mirrors from Hollywood`s Golden Age. With all the `dressing room` glamour it is also very sculptural as the Lucite frame curves outwards from the wall. When used in a bathroom an illuminated mirror has the unexpected advantaged of preventing the mirror surface steaming up. An illuminated mirror is a clever alternative choice for a bedroom, entrance hall, living room or bathroom. The subtle indirect light from this mirror works well as ambiance lighting for the living room. A group of mismatched, decorative vintage mirrors can be just as interesting as a collection of art. When displaying a collection of photos, designers recommend unifying them by coordinating the frames. But with a collection of mirrors, the reflective surface is the unifying component. This gives more choice so the frames can be varied in size, style & shape. A wall mirror in the entryway provides the perfect place to give yourself a quick check before heading out. This 1970`s console table & mirror are attributed to Italian Designer Willy Rizzo. The unique combination of quality polished brass & chrome with bevelled glass & mirror work together for a rich design. See all our mirrors on this page of our web site....See MoreMirror suggestions?
