A distortion mirror is a generally popular piece of furniture, but those created in Victorian, Folk Art and Georgian styles are sought with frequency.
How Much is a Distortion Mirror?
The average selling price for a distortion mirror at 1stDibs is $2,683, while they’re typically $701 on the low end and $6,755 for the highest priced.
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.
