Finding the Right Mirrors for You
The road from early innovations in reflective glass to the alluring antique and vintage mirrors in trendy modern interiors has been a long one but we’re reminded of the journey everywhere we look.
In many respects, wall mirrors, floor mirrors and full-length mirrors are to interior design what jeans are to dressing. Exceedingly versatile. Universally flattering. Unobtrusively elegant. And while all mirrors are not created equal, even in their most elaborate incarnation, they're still the heavy lifters of interior design, visually enlarging and illuminating any space.
We’ve come a great distance from the polished stone that served as mirrors in Central America thousands of years ago or the copper mirrors of Mesopotamia before that. Today’s coveted glass Venetian mirrors, which should be cleaned with a solution of white vinegar and water, were likely produced in Italy beginning in the 1500s, while antique mirrors originating during the 19th century can add the rustic farmhouse feel to your mudroom that you didn’t know you needed.
By the early 20th century, experiments with various alloys allowed for mirrors to be made inexpensively. The geometric shapes and beveled edges that characterize mirrors crafted in the Art Deco style of the 1920s can bring pizzazz to your entryway, while an ornate LaBarge mirror made in the Hollywood Regency style makes a statement in any bedroom. Friedman Brothers is a particularly popular manufacturer known for decorative round and rectangular framed mirrors designed in the Rococo, Louis XVI and other styles, including dramatic wall mirrors framed in gold faux bamboo that bear the hallmarks of Asian design.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, mid-century modernism continues to influence the design of contemporary mirrors. Today’s simple yet chic mantel mirror frames, for example, often neutral in color, owe to the understated mirror designs introduced in the postwar era.
Sculptor and furniture maker Paul Evans had been making collage-style cabinets since at least the late 1950s when he designed his Patchwork mirror — part of a series that yielded expressive works of combined brass, copper and pewter — for Directional Furniture during the mid-1960s. Several books celebrating Evans’s work were published beginning in the early 2000s, as his unconventional furniture has been enjoying a moment not unlike the resurgence that the Ultrafragola mirror is seeing. Designed by the Memphis Group’s Ettore Sottsass in 1970, the Ultrafragola mirror, in all its sensuous acrylic splendor, has become somewhat of a star thanks to much-lauded appearances in shelter magazines and on social media.
On 1stDibs, we have a broad selection of vintage and antique mirrors and tips on how to style your contemporary mirror too.

- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022How a singing bird box works relies on a clockwork mechanism. Twisting the winder provides power to the motor which then moves the bird and turns the gears that produce music. Both the bird's motion and the tune continue until the motor stops spinning. Find a wide variety of music boxes on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023To tell if a bird sculpture is made of Murano glass, professionals recommend having an antiques dealer or Murano glass expert examine it. Otherwise, look for the signature of the artist or factory on the piece. Authentic Murano glass will often, but not always, include labels with the name of the workshop, the signature of the glass master and a certificate of authenticity. Use trusted online resources to determine if the maker's location is or was in Murano, in northeastern Italy. Seeing the word "Murano" on a glass decorative object doesn't mean that it is authentic. In fact, most genuine pieces won't show the word "Murano." Murano glass is identifiable by its richly layered colors and characteristic gold or silver flecks inside the glass. Authentic Murano glass often has small imperfections and an irregular shape due to the freeform creation process. Find a collection of Murano glass decorative objects on 1stDibs.
- What type of bird bath is best?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021The best bird bath for you depends on your personal preferences and needs. There is a collection of bird baths on 1stDibs to help you beautify your outdoor space.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 16, 2024Whether the Bertoia Bird chair is comfortable is largely a matter of personal preference. However, many online reviewers report that the combination of the angle of the backrest, the thin layer of padding and the flexibility of the wire frame provide optimal support and make it possible to sit for long periods in comfort. In addition, owners laud the chair's overall compact proportions, which make it ideal for small spaces. Explore a collection of Harry Bertoia Bird chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 27, 2025There is actually more than one famous artist who draws birds. Perhaps the best-known is John James Audubon, an American ornithologist, naturalist and painter. He was notable for his expansive studies documenting American birds and his detailed illustrations depicting them in their natural habitats. Some have called artist and ornithologist David Allen Sibley "the most important bird illustrator since Audubon" due to his work. His illustrated Sibley Guides to Birds have sold more than six million copies. Other well-known bird illustrators include the 18th-century naturalist George Edwards and Rex Brasher, who produced watercolors of birds during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Explore a variety of bird illustrations on 1stDibs.
- What is a Venetian mirror?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 21, 2020
While polished metal mirrors have existed since ancient times, glass Venetian mirrors are thought to have first been produced on the Venetian island of Murano, in Italy, beginning in the 1500s (some research points to 1300 for Venetian mirrors). Set in ornate frames frequently bedecked with gold highlights or floral leaf designs, Venetian glass mirrors were handmade by artisans using refined, expert techniques for royalty and for members of the upper class. By the 17th century, Venetian mirrors were in high demand. Because antique Venetian glass mirrors are still very popular today, there are many knockoffs on the market. Today’s authentic Venetian mirrors are still produced only on the island of Murano.
