Antique Mirrors
Antique mirrors are characterised by their distinctive patina, intricate frames, and the subtle imperfections that tell a story of time. The materials used often include high-quality woods like oak, mahogany, and walnut, intricately carved and finished with gilding or patination. The glass itself may feature foxing, a desirable form of ageing that gives antique mirrors their unique appearance. The finishes can range from soft, muted tones to more vibrant, reflective surfaces, depending on the period and style being emulated. At Mirrors Dublin, these traditional techniques are faithfully recreated to provide authentic antique mirrors that stand the test of time.

Frame Customization: Materials and Styles
The frame of a mirror significantly impacts its overall aesthetic. Customers can choose from various materials, including wood, metal, and resin, each offering different styles from ornate Baroque to sleek contemporary designs. The frames can be finished in natural wood tones, painted in custom colours, or gilded for a luxurious touch.
