Antique mirror: character, style, and timeless elegance in your interior

An antique mirror is more than just a practical utility item. It is an atmospheric interior piece that reflects light, makes a room look optically larger, and instantly adds character. Thanks to the unique frame, the lived-in appearance, and the craftsmanship details, every antique mirror tells a story of its own.

At Antiek & Antiquiteiten you will find a carefully curated collection of authentic mirrors from various periods and countries. The collection includes, among others, French mirrors, gold and silver mirrors, large mirrors, and classic crested mirrors.

Why choose an antique mirror?

While modern mirrors are often sleek and uniform, an antique mirror has its own distinct appearance. Small irregularities in the glass, traces of age, and a weathered frame are precisely what makes the object special.

An antique mirror gives a room more depth, reflects daylight, and creates a spacious feeling. Additionally, a beautiful piece forms a stylish centerpiece above a fireplace, dresser, or console.

Combining an antique mirror with a modern interior

An antique mirror does not have to stand exclusively in a classic interior. It is precisely the combination of old and new that creates a stylish and personal whole.

For example, combine a richly decorated mirror with a sleek, modern dresser. A gold mirror looks beautiful against a quiet, neutral wall. A silver mirror can be combined with marble, wood, and soft textiles.

By not choosing all furniture from the same style period, you create an interior with more tension, warmth, and character.

Where do you hang an antique mirror?

The right spot has a lot of influence on the appearance of the mirror. Above a fireplace, a classic mirror is an obvious centerpiece. In a hallway, a mirror provides a hospitable entrance and a final opportunity to check your outfit before you leave.

An antique mirror also comes into its own in these places:

• above a dresser;
• above a side table;
• in a spacious bedroom;
• in a classic bathroom;
• in a dining room;
• against a wall instead of hanging;
• above a console in the entrance.

Pay attention to the incidence of light when choosing the location. A mirror opposite a window reflects the daylight and can make a dark room look significantly brighter.
