At 1stDibs, there are many versions of the ideal antique Syrian mirror for your home. Each antique Syrian mirror for sale was constructed with extraordinary care, often using
wood,
mother-of-pearl and
shell. You’ve searched high and low for the perfect antique Syrian mirror — we have versions that date back to the 18th Century alongside those produced as recently as the 20th Century are available. Each antique Syrian mirror bearing
Empire hallmarks is very popular. Many designers have produced at least one well-made antique Syrian mirror over the years, but those crafted by
Georg Balthasar Probst are often thought to be among the most beautiful.
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.
