Mirrors add light and depth
to any room. Even a small room can be made to look
larger through the proper placement of mirrors at key
points around the room. Bathroom mirrors and decorative
mirrors all add elegance to the rooms in your home. A
mirror allows you to see how well you look.
The mirror of the ancient
Greeks and Romans was a disk of metal with a highly
polished face, sometimes with a design on the back, and
usually with a handle. Glass mirrors date from the
Middle Ages. They were made in large quantities in
Venice from the 16th century, the back being covered
with a thin coating of tin mixed with mercury; after
1840 a thin coating of silver was generally substituted.
The introduction of plate glass for mirrors (17th cent.)
stimulated the use of large stationary mirrors as part
of household furniture. Small bits of silvered glass
were much used in the East to adorn articles of dress
and of decoration.
There are thousands and thousands of mirrors to choose
from over the internet. We’ve selected from only the
