What Antique Mirror Is

Antique mirror is mirror glass that has been treated to look aged. The silvering is mottled, clouded or veined, so the reflection is softer and less perfect than a regular mirror. The glass itself is new and flat, and it goes up like any other mirror.


Restaurants and coffee shops around the Valley have been using it on walls and behind bars, and homeowners are starting to ask for it too. ABC Glass cuts and installs custom mirrors in Scottsdale, AZ, Paradise Valley, AZ and Phoenix, AZ, from a single powder room mirror to a full wall. If you want a standard mirror, see our custom glass and mirrors . For patterned glass, see our textured and decorative glass .

Gold Vein and Other Antique Mirror Finishes

Gold vein is the finish people notice first. Thin gold veins run through the aged surface, a bit like marble. It is a strong look, so most people use it in one place, like a powder room, a bar back or a single wall in a dining room.


Plenty of antique mirror has no gold in it at all. There are silver, grey, bronze and smoky finishes, plus clouded and weathered ones. The look and thickness vary, so it helps to talk through the room and the lighting with us before you pick. The finishes below are labeled and grouped by type.

Where Antique Mirror Is Used

Feature Walls and Dining Rooms

A full wall of antique mirror gives a dining room, entry or great room more depth and a softer reflection than regular mirror.

Powder Rooms and Primary Baths

A custom antique mirror over a vanity changes the whole room. Moisture matters in a bathroom, so we look at the location first.

Home Bars and Backsplashes

Behind a bar or in a backsplash, antique mirror picks up the light from bottles and pendants and gives the space a warm glow.

Custom Shapes and Cutouts

We cut antique mirror to order. If you want a cutout, an arch or another detail, send us the design and we will go over it with your estimate.

Restaurants and Coffee Shops

Bar backs, banquette walls and feature panels are common spots. See our commercial glass services for the other work we do for businesses.

Hospitality and Upscale Interiors

Hotel bars, lounges, lobbies and boutique shops use antique mirror to add warmth to a new space.

Why Antique Mirror Costs More

Antique mirror is a specialty product. The glass costs a lot more than standard mirror or clear glass, and gold vein is at the high end. It also takes more care to cut and install, because the finish can be scratched or chipped if it is handled carelessly.


The price of a project depends on the finish, thickness, size, edge work, any cutouts and the conditions where it is being installed. That is why we ask for details before we quote. If you are deciding where to spend, we can tell you where antique mirror will matter most.
