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.

Cape Mirrors at Vergelegen Estate



In 2011 John Jacob Interiors refurbished the private accommodation wing to the main house at Vergelegen Estate. Cape Mirrors provided the antique mirrors to screens, feature mirrors and furniture in the house. The project was featured in the January 2013 Conde Nast House and Garden and aired recently on Top Billing.

Stills from the Top Billing slot feature below showing the main mirror in the dining room, cupboards in the bedroom and a detail of one of the screens.
