How Much is a Beveled Mantle Mirror?
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.
- What is a bevelled mirror?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021A bevelled mirror is a type of mirror with edges that are cut to look as if the mirror has a framed-edge around it. This process makes the edges around the mirror thinner than the ¼” thickness of the mirror's middle portion.
- What is a bevel on a mirror?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021A beveled mirror has had its edges cut and polished to a precise angle and size to create an exquisite, framed look. This procedure thins the glass around the mirror's edges while leaving the large center area at the typical 1/4" thickness. Find a collection of antique and vintage beveled mirrors on 1stDibs today.
- What is a beveled edge mirror?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021A beveled edge mirror has its edges cut and polished at an angle. The mirror is thinner around the edges which gives it a sleek finish. Shop a range of antique and vintage beveled edge mirrors on 1stDibs.
- What does beveled mirror mean?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 21, 2019
A beveled mirror is a mirror whose periphery has been cut to form an angle, creating the appearance of a framed edge around the piece.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Beveled glass and mirrors became popular in the mid-16th-century when mirror production started on a commercial scale. At the time, beveling was done by hand and extremely time-consuming. However, beveling can now be done by machines. Shop a wide array of antique and modern beveled mirrors on 1stDibs.
