Antique Mirrors

For over 50 years Walter’s Mirror has been in the business of hand crafted Antique Mirrors. Our handmade antique mirrors have a natural and artistic finish, making each piece unique. Mirror antiquing, also known as distressed mirrors, is an important part of the design repertoire, transforming time and space. We offer multiple techniques to meet varying design requests. There are two distinctly different categories of Antique Mirrors. One has a decorative appearance while the other offers a more European style or realistic old world look and feel. Within each category are many styles to meet your requirements.

  • French Antique Style Mirrors
  • Mercury Styled Mirrors
  • Old Fashioned Style Mirrors
  • Decorative Antique Mirrors
  • Venetian Style Mirrors

Mirror Resilvering

Each Antique mirror has its one unique look and feel, such as type of bevel, etching / engraving, shape, seeds/bubbles, waves and glass color. Many are irreplaceable heirlooms which long to be restored to their original reflective brilliance and luster. In order to accomplish this we remove the original tarnished reflective coating, clean the original glass and redeposit a fresh silver layer then seal the silver to protect the reflective coating. This restoration process will give an Antique Mirror its original clarity and reflective brilliance back.

Glass Silvering

Silvered glass / mirroring is accomplished by chemically depositing a unique silver solution on glass creating a high quality reflective surface. Since our process is hand crafted, we not only deposit clear silver (Mirror) on glass, we have the ability to create an Antique Mirror as well.

Walter’s Mirror has the ability to silver any type of glass surface. Listed are just a few applications for silvering. Let your imagination be your guide to a decorative designed piece.
