How Much are Vintage Hand Mirrors?
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 ExpertFebruary 22, 2021You can tell if a mirror is antique through a number of indicators. For example, most antique mirrors are quite small in size, measuring no more than 2 feet. Additionally, antique mirrors will show signs of sports or discoloration. Many antique mirrors will have bubbling or waves in the glass.
- What is a hand mirror called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021A hand mirror is usually called exactly that — a hand mirror. It’s a small and portable mirror that can be held in hand and carried around conveniently in a purse or bag. Some hand mirrors are considered valuable collectibles and can be quite expensive, depending on the design and period. Find a collection of antique and vintage hand mirrors on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 24, 2024How much a vintage mirror is worth varies. Collectors often seek pieces from well-known makers, such as Cristal Arte, Fontana Arte, Aksel Kjersgaard and Max Ingrand. The material, size, age, style and condition will also influence the potential selling price for a particular mirror. To learn more about your mirror and find out its estimated fair market value, seek the help of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. Find a wide variety of vintage mirrors on 1stDibs.
