What Makes Antique Mirrors Special

Antique design mirrors are not just functional — they are statement pieces. With their aged, smoky, or distressed glass surface and ornate frames, they bring a sense of history and elegance to any room. The good news is you do not need an old bungalow or a Victorian-era home to pull off this look.

At Amar Glass Studio, our antique mirrors are among our most requested products. Here is everything you need to know about choosing and placing them.

Types of Antique Mirror Glass

Smoky Antique Glass

This has a grey-brown tint with subtle cloudiness that looks naturally aged. It reflects your image with a soft, diffused quality — very flattering. Popular in bedrooms and dressing areas.

Bronze Antique Glass

A warm golden-brown tone that catches light beautifully. Bronze antique mirrors work especially well in living rooms, dining areas, and entrance lobbies. They pair perfectly with wooden furniture and warm lighting.

Mercury Antique Glass

The classic silvery, aged look with dark spots and patchy areas that mimic genuine antique mercury mirrors from the 17th century. Dramatic and striking — perfect as a centerpiece in a living room or hallway.

Best Places to Use Antique Mirrors

  • Living room feature wall — A large 48x72 inch antique mirror as a centerpiece creates instant drama
  • Dining room — Placed on the wall behind a dining table, it makes the room feel larger and more elegant
  • Entrance lobby — Sets the tone for the entire home the moment guests walk in
  • Bedroom — A full-length antique mirror adds a vintage dressing-room feel
  • Cafe and restaurant interiors — One of the most popular choices for hospitality spaces

Frame Styles

  • Ornate carved wood frames — traditional, heavily decorated, gold or silver finish
  • Distressed wooden frames — rustic, slightly worn look, natural colours
  • Thin metal frames — minimalist modern framing with antique glass
  • Frameless antique — the glass itself is the star, with polished bevelled edges

Custom Sizes Available
