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.
Questions About Mirrors Over Mantel
- What is a mantel shelf?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021A mantle shelf is a frame around the opening of a fireplace mostly made of stone or wood. In the olden days, it was designed as a decorative hood over the fire grate to catch smoke. The term has evolved now, and it includes a variety of decorative frameworks around the fireplace, with elaborate designs extending to the ceiling. On 1stDibs, find a range of antique and vintage fireplace mantels.
- Why do fireplaces have mantels?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 29, 2024Fireplaces have mantels to prevent smoke from entering the room. Initially, mantels functioned as hoods and were installed to protect an interior space and nearby objects from the extreme heat generated by a fireplace.
Today, fireplaces and mantels can be seen as a focal point in your decor. Fireplaces were once essential fixtures in a home. Even as HVAC systems would eventually see to it that fireplaces weren’t a necessity, no mechanically engineered thermal heating and ventilation technology can replicate the feeling of warmth and camaraderie that a flickering fire guarantees.
Find antique and vintage fireplaces and mantels on 1stDibs. - 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021A fireplace mantel surround is an object that extends from the fireplace's exterior wall into the room and frames the opening. It consists of the sides and a mantel, although it may or may not contain the hearth, which is the base of the fireplace. Fireplace surrounds assist in making a fireplace more of a centerpiece and focal point for a home, as well as offering a shelf space above the fireplace for personal objects to be displayed. Find a variety of antique and vintage fireplace mantel surrounds on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 29, 2024A mantel shelf is typically mounted 12 inches above the inner section of a fireplace, which is called the firebox.
Today, fireplaces and mantels can be seen as a focal point in your decor. Vintage fireplaces and mantels have earned their coveted position as desirable focal points in any room over the course of a staggering evolution in design that has yielded everything from intricately carved works of limestone to sleek works of wood paneling and rolled steel.
Find antique and vintage fireplaces and mantels on 1stDibs. - 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022To wind an Ansonia mantel clock, first insert the key into the center winding point, usually found on the back. Then, turn the key clockwise until the winder no longer turns. Repeat the process in the right winding point to set the quarter-hour charm and the left winding point to set the hour strike. You'll find a range of Ansonia clocks on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023What color is good for a fireplace mantel depends on your space. Look for shades that complement your palette and fit the interior design theme of the room. Generally, neutral colors like black, white, gray and brown coordinate with many other hues, but other colors may work, too. Find a variety of fireplace mantels on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021The ideal depth of a fireplace mantel is 7 inches. This allows enough room to display decorative objects such as candles, figurines, photo frames and more. Shop a collection of antique, vintage and contemporary fireplace mantels from some of the world’s top dealers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021The average width of a fireplace mantel is 6 inches wider than the fireplace on either side. It can occasionally be even wider. While deciding on the right width for your space, factors to be considered are firebox dimensions, fireplace surround dimensions, hearth and room size. Shop a range of antique and vintage fireplace tools and mantels on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To fix the chime on a mantel clock, take it to an experienced clock repair shop. A professional will have the knowledge and tools necessary to diagnose the problem with the chimes and make the necessary repairs. You'll find a range of mantel clocks on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022How you adjust a French mantel clock depends on its design. In many antique clocks, there is a winding slot that says R for Retard on one side and A for Advance on the other. If you wish to make the clock faster, you turn the key toward the R. To slow down the clock, turn the key in the opposite direction toward the A. Find a large collection of French mantel clocks on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021Yes, you can paint a marble fireplace mantel. As marble is a heavy natural stone that is expensive to replace, painting it with latex-based or chalk paint will help restore its luster. Find a variety of marble fireplace mantels on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022To identify an old mantel clock, look for the name of the company or artisan. They are often stamped or engraved on either the clock’s face or the backplate of the movement. Sometimes they will be on a piece of paper on the back or bottom of the clock. Shop a variety of mantel clocks on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To date a Seth Thomas mantel clock, examine the gears inside. If the movement is wood, the production date of the clock is somewhere between 1817 and 1830. Clocks made after 1881 may feature an ink code date stamp on the case back or bottom. A licensed appraiser can provide assistance with determining the exact manufacturing year. Shop a variety of expertly vetted Seth Thomas mantel clocks on 1stDibs.
- Can mirrors be shipped?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, mirrors can indeed be shipped. The trick to packing them is to have the mirror and frame suspended by packaging, not just wrapped in bubble wrap.

- 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.
