Antique Mirror Frames For Sale on 1stDibs

Find a variety of antique mirror frames available on 1stDibs. The range of distinct antique mirror frames — often made from wood, glass and mirror — can elevate any home. Antique mirror frames have long been popular, with older editions for sale from the 18th Century and newer versions made as recently as the 20th Century. Antique mirror frames are generally popular furniture pieces, but Baroque, Victorian and Louis XVI styles are often sought at 1stDibs. Antique mirror frames have been a part of the life’s work for many furniture makers, but those produced by Stephen Cavallo, Brendan Bass and Liberty & Co. are consistently popular.

How Much are Antique Mirror Frames?

Prices for antique mirror frames start at $115 and top out at $885,000 with the average selling for $2,790.

Finding the Right Mirrors for You

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.

Questions About Antique Mirror Frames

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, you can add a frame to a mirror. However, doing so requires skill and care to avoid damaging the glass. As a result, it is best to take the mirror to a furniture maker or carpenter to have a frame installed. On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of wall mirrors.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021
    Antique picture frames can be very valuable, particularly if they are older and have maintained their high quality. Some designs are considered classically attractive and are more valuable even if they are not as old.
    1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021
    Yes, antique picture frames are considered valuable. They are regarded as high-value collectibles and can often be seen in exhibits without canvases, as art pieces on their own. Made of wood traditionally, antique picture frames remain very popular owing to their ability to be shaped in varied profiles. You can choose from a wide variety of antique picture frames, including designs in antique and vintage, new and contemporary, and 21st century pre-owned styles on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    You can tell if a mirror is antique through a number of indicators. For example, most antique mirrors are quite small in size, measuring no more than 2 feet. Additionally, antique mirrors will show signs of sports or discoloration. Many antique mirrors will have bubbling or waves in the glass.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To tell if a mirror is antique, check the glass to see if it's wavy or has any imperfections. Modern glass tends to be perfect. While this can be a clue, it might just signify that the mirror is old, not antique. Another thing to check for is the reflective coating on the back of the glass to see if it has begun oxidizing and has any age scratches. Finally, check out the frame to see if it has the appearance of age. Shop a large collection of antique mirrors from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    An antique mirror is a mirror of considerable age that has historical significance or is in great demand due to its beauty or rarity. Oftentimes, you’ll hear an antique be defined as any item that is more than 100 years old, but this is not a specific measurement of an antique nor is it a requirement. Shop a collection of antique mirrors from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2026
    Antique mirrors are generally 100 years or older, while vintage mirrors are at least 20 years old and often reflect a specific design era, such as Art Deco or Hollywood Regency.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 21, 2020

    Repairs and replacements can go toward devaluing any piece of antique or vintage furniture, and any modifications or repairs done to a centuries-old mirror should be handled by experts and executed with care. Because antique Venetian mirrors were handcrafted by Italian artisans and can in some cases be hundreds of years old, it is strongly recommended that you consult with experts in the field of restoring antique or decorative mirrors in the event that your piece should require restorative work.

  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2026
    Use wall anchors or studs rated for the mirror's full weight, and consider two mounting points for larger or heavier pieces; listings note approximate weight where available.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2026
    Not necessarily. Foxing, the dark spotting on old mirror glass, is often considered a desirable sign of age and authenticity rather than a flaw.
