Great finds! I enjoy the natural and subtle imperfections of antique mirrors. They are functional as well as wonderful assets to complete and expand a room. It is possible to force this effect or find mirrors where it naturally occurs in varying degrees for a dynamic or subtle addition to any wall!
Donna I love mirrors with the aged patina! So gorgeous! I have just imported one from New Orleans and it is so beautiful! Happy 2013! best wishes Frances
I also love a dodgy mirror. I was in an antique store years ago when a potential buyer of an aged beauty wanted to buy it for the frame. To make the sale, the dealer offered to give her a new mirror in the old frame. I am sure the dealer got the better part of the transaction. The dodgy mirror was certainly worth far more than the frame. Both buyer and seller were happy that day. Best...Victoria
Love mirrors, such feature pieces, that can complete the look of a room perfectly, especially when you have a neutral room scheme and can go all out with a bold framed mirror. The mirrors in your pics look like pieces of art - so different, love it :O)

Wow! Very cool mirrors. Is this patina or a special effect?
Love mirrors where the silver is worn too. You've shown some stunning images!

Me too...they are just naturally aged, right?

Antiqued mirrors are great....especially when your old! Can't quite see all the wrinkles:)
I've been accused of not having a single mirror in my house that you can actually see in:)

Beautiful vignettes!
