Questions About Demilune And Mirror
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021
    Demilune refers to crescent-shaped tables and is a French term that means half-moon. It is an excellent choice for narrow hallways and entryways because it has no front corners and a shallow profile. A demilune table's semi-circular form reduces bumps and bruising in high-traffic areas. A demilune's shape, which is a half-circle or a stylized half circle, is its defining trait. When stylized, the simple form of a circle is retained, edges designed with foliage, scrolls, and other intricacies. A demilune table may feature storage space underneath, such as shelves depending on the design. Find a collection of antique and vintage demilunes on 1stDibs today.

    While polished metal mirrors have existed since ancient times, glass Venetian mirrors are thought to have first been produced on the Venetian island of Murano, in Italy, beginning in the 1500s (some research points to 1300 for Venetian mirrors). Set in ornate frames frequently bedecked with gold highlights or floral leaf designs, Venetian glass mirrors were handmade by artisans using refined, expert techniques for royalty and for members of the upper class. By the 17th century, Venetian mirrors were in high demand. Because antique Venetian glass mirrors are still very popular today, there are many knockoffs on the market. Today’s authentic Venetian mirrors are still produced only on the island of Murano.

  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024
    Mirrors were invented in ancient times. The earliest known human-made reflective surfaces date back to 4000 B.C., when artisans polished obsidian to a mirror-like finish. By the 5th century A.D., the Greeks had mastered the art of producing handheld mirrors for the purpose of grooming. On 1stDibs, explore a large collection of mirrors.
