At 1stDibs, there are many versions of the ideal antique pewter mirror for your home. Frequently made of
metal,
pewter and
glass, every antique pewter mirror was constructed with great care. Whether you’re looking for an older or newer antique pewter mirror, there are earlier versions available from the 18th Century and newer variations made as recently as the 20th Century. An antique pewter mirror is a generally popular piece of furniture, but those created in
Art Nouveau,
Arts and Crafts and
Art Deco styles are sought with frequency. A well-made antique pewter mirror has long been a part of the offerings for many furniture designers and manufacturers, but those produced by
WMF Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik,
Carlo Bugatti and
Charles Raphaël Peyre are consistently popular.
An antique pewter mirror can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price 1stDibs is $3,158, while the lowest priced sells for $299 and the highest can go for as much as $128,000.
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.

Each piece comes from a vetted 1stDibs seller, with era and designer on record, and the 1stDibs Promise covers each purchase.
