Antique Mirrors - Transforming Glass Through The art of Antique Mirroring
Summary: From the earliest known Greco-Roman mirrors to the invention of the modern mirroring process in 1835 that is still in use today, mirrors have played an important role in elegant interior design for nearly two centuries. The trend is only still continuing to grow and evolve as we speak.
Discover New Traditions With Custom Designed Antique Mirrors
Just within the last decade alone, the craft of creating new mirrors with specialized finishes has evolved into a design technique referred to as Antique Mirroring. With today’s latest techniques and craftsmanship, along with an entire world of ageless reflections with custom designed antique mirrors for your home or business, the possibilities are truly endless.
Combining traditional techniques of silver mirroring with modern innovations, Roderick Treece incorporates the finest patina processes to transform new silvered mirrors into stunning antique mirrors that appear to be timeless vintage classics. Antique mirrors have the appeal of an old world relic passed down through generations. In fact, each unique one-of-a-kind finished piece of glass artwork created will very likely become a collectable treasure itself.
Designs And Finishes Certain To Impress
Antique mirrored finishes can range from lightly antiqued to heavily distressed and colorized to your very own custom desired specifications. Trying to reproduce an antique or have a specific design in mind that would be impossible to find elsewhere? We can bring your vision to light or help you design the stunning masterpiece that you have desired—after all, custom work and precise attention to the very smallest detail is what Roderick Treece is so well known and respected for.
Consider the application of decorative inlays applied to the back surface—mystical design elements to be appreciated through the reflection. Each mirror can be customized using inlayed abalone, mother-of-pearl shell, colored crystals, gold or silver leafing, sandblasting, etching, glue chipping, and even with mosaic tiles.
Where Can Antique Mirrors Be Used?
Great question! And fortunately, for both commercial and for home residential use, the list of different ways and places to use the hand crafted mirrors is only limited to your imagination.
