What is a bevel on a mirror?

1 Answer
What is a bevel on a mirror?
A beveled mirror has had its edges cut and polished to a precise angle and size to create an exquisite, framed look. This procedure thins the glass around the mirror's edges while leaving the large center area at the typical 1/4" thickness. Find a collection of antique and vintage beveled mirrors on 1stDibs today.
