Many designers have produced at least one well-made depose mirror over the years, but those crafted by La Maison Desny, Cartier and Franz Wagner 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.
