With a vast inventory of beautiful furniture at 1stDibs, we’ve got just the 1940s gilt mirror you’re looking for. A 1940s gilt mirror — often made from
glass,
wood and
mirror — can elevate any home. Your living room may not be complete without a 1940s gilt mirror — find older editions for sale from the 20th Century and newer versions made as recently as the 20th Century. A 1940s gilt mirror is a generally popular piece of furniture, but those created in
Hollywood Regency,
Mid-Century Modern and
Art Deco styles are sought with frequency. Many designers have produced at least one well-made 1940s gilt mirror over the years, but those crafted by
Maison Baguès,
Grosfeld House and
Maison Jansen are often thought to be among the most beautiful.
Prices for a 1940s gilt mirror can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — at 1stDibs, they begin at $1 and can go as high as $36,000, while the average can fetch as much as $2,800.
Vintage mirrors have long been a measure of craftsmanship, from gilded Rococo frames to the sunburst shapes that became a signature of mid-century design.
Styles to Know
An arched or sunburst mirror reads more decorative, while a plain rectangular frame lets the room around it stand out. Hang one above a vintage vanity or a mid-century modern dresser, or lean a larger floor mirror against the wall as a standalone piece.
How to Choose the Right Vintage Mirror
Foxing and an aged frame usually read as character rather than damage, worth weighing against a listing's condition notes. For placement ideas, our 12 dramatic mirrors feature is a good place to start. Each piece comes from a vetted 1stDibs seller, with era and designer on record, and the 1stDibs Promise covers each purchase.
