- What is a Venetian mirror?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 21, 2020
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.
- When were mirrors invented?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024Mirrors 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.
- What is on the back of a mirror?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024What is on the back of a mirror varies.

- What is a bubble mirror?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021Bubble Mirrors are the fun, “art” version of mirrors (usually convex) that lend living room walls a “funhouse” feel. There are antique and vintage bubble mirrors for sale at 1stDibs, while we also have modern editions to choose from as well. Bubble mirrors have long been popular, with older editions for sale from the 19th Century and newer versions made as recently as the 21st Century.
