Welcome to the world of antique mirror-making!

In this blog I'll be posting all kinds of stuff about distressed mirrors, thoughts and ideas that you’ll probably battle to find anywhere else on the net. If you love the look and feel of foxed glass, or just prefer old-looking, charismatic mirrors, read on and enjoy.

Private Client, Camps Bay

Late November 2011 two large mirrors were installed in the guest bathroom of a prestigious new home in Camps Bay. The client requested heavily distressed antique mirror to reflect and blend with a black and white damask wallpaper. Mirrors were framed in timber by Franco and Son Joinery. Architects: Van Biljon Barnado of Tyger Valley.
