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, de Zalze Estate, Stellenbosch

This was a lovely project for a private client in the exclusive de Zalze Estate outside Stellenbosch. The antique mirrors were specified by Eben Rall Architects of Somerset West, and the joinery was by Sylvan Furniture, also of Somerset West. The mirrors were aged fairly heavily and darkened towards the top and bottom edges. They looked particularly dramatic in an otherwise mostly white interior.
