Antique mirrors are widely appreciated by numerous people such as collectors, family members that receive them as heirlooms and those who just like to admire their beauty. They are sold in a variety of shops usually at a very high price and are hard to come across particularly if you are looking for a specific type and colour. This can be rather stressful and time consuming, especially if you are the type of person who likes to spend a lot of time relaxing and with your family rather than looking for new additions to your home for hours.

The first way that you can look at to solve this problem is to go to Google and type in Antique mirror glass. You will get a large list of websites that offer to help you find mirrors, glass and shops. The easiest way to reduce time is just to visit the website Antique Mirror as they have a variety of mirrors available that are made to order.

They provide you with a choice of a variety of colours and four different styles that include marbled, speckled, mottled and vintage. You can also have the mirror adhered to the wall with glue or screws and have it toughened or safety backed to make sure that it isn’t likely to be broken easily.

Another option is making the mirror yourself. Some websites provide people with instructions on how to create a distressed mirror using basic apparatus that can be purchased from craft shops such as Spotlight and Big W in Australia, and Walmart in America. Although a little more time consuming, this way of getting a distressed mirror is a lot cheaper and can encourage the creative side of those making them.

So the choice really depends on whether you want to pay for professionals making your mirror while you relax or whether you want to release your creative side and make it yourself. Mirrors reflect your true self as ‘Behaviour is the mirror in which everyone shows their image’, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
