At 1stDibs, there are many versions of the ideal railway mirror for your home. Frequently made of
glass,
metal and
mirror, every railway mirror was constructed with great care. You’ve searched high and low for the perfect railway mirror — we have versions that date back to the 19th Century alongside those produced as recently as the 20th Century are available. A railway mirror is a generally popular piece of furniture, but those created in
Art Deco,
Industrial and
Mid-Century Modern styles are sought with frequency.
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.
