Discover our curated collection of antique mirrors, ranging from 17th-century baroque giltwood frames to elegant Georgian pier mirrors and refined Victorian overmantel designs. Each antique mirror has been carefully selected for its craftsmanship, provenance, and decorative impact. Whether you are seeking a convex mirror, a dramatic overmantel piece, or a finely carved giltwood pier mirror, these timeless works of art bring depth, light, and history to any interior. At Nwtiques, we offer complimentary restoration, insured worldwide shipping, and expert advice to help you choose the perfect antique mirror.

History & Craftsmanship of Antique Mirrors

From early mercury-silvered glass to 19th-century plate glass, antique mirrors reflect centuries of evolving craftsmanship. Giltwood frames, delicate rococo carving, and neoclassical ornament all speak to the artistic trends of their time.

Types & Styles of Antique Mirrors

  • Convex Mirrors – popular in Regency England, prized for their dramatic reflection.

  • Pier Mirrors – tall and elegant, designed for placement between windows.

  • Overmantel Mirrors – statement pieces above fireplaces, richly ornamented.

  • Wall & Dressing Mirrors – versatile designs suited to bedrooms, salons, and halls.

How to Choose the Right Antique Mirror

Consider the scale of your space, the architectural setting, and the interplay of light. A large overmantel mirror expands smaller rooms, while a gilt convex mirror provides a striking focal point in a hall or dining room.

Caring for Your Antique Mirror

Antique mirrors require gentle care: avoid harsh cleaning agents, protect gilding from moisture, and allow natural patina to remain as part of the mirror’s historic character. All pieces purchased from Nwtiques are delivered with advice on preservation and restoration.
