At 1stDibs, there are many versions of the ideal 19th century hand mirror for your home. A 19th century hand mirror — often made from
wood,
glass and
mirror — can elevate any home. Your living room may not be complete without a 19th century hand mirror — find older editions for sale from the 18th Century and newer versions made as recently as the 21st Century. When you’re browsing for the right 19th century hand mirror, those designed in
Louis XVI,
Louis XV and
Rococo styles are of considerable interest. A well-made 19th century hand mirror has long been a part of the offerings for many furniture designers and manufacturers, but those produced by
Meissen Porcelain,
Delaunay & Lefevre and
Rajhastani are consistently popular.
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.
