Antique Marriage or Wedding Mirrors

Antique French Marriage Mirrors for Sale - Fall Head Over Heels (Again and Again and Again)
Not all mirrors reflect the same thing. Some show your outfit. Ours show your love for beauty, history, and old-world charm.

Originally crafted as heartfelt wedding gifts in 18th and 19th-century France, marriage mirrors weren’t just decorative—they were declarations. Of union. Of joy. Of shared futures and flickering candlelight. Today, they’re still making hearts flutter (and rooms glow) across the world.

A Love Letter in Gilt and Glass
Our collection of antique French wedding mirrors is a curated romance novel in reflective form. Each mirror is handpicked for its elegance, character, and craftsmanship—often featuring carvings as symbolic as a secret language passed between generations.

Most date from the 1700s and 1800s and carry their years with grace: think ornate crests, floral garlands, doves, wheat sheaves, and musical notes—all carved with meaning and care.

At Wildschut Antiques, we clean, restore, and whisper encouragement to each one, making sure every mirror is ready to shine again without losing its soul.

Why Choose an Antique French Wedding Mirror?
Because modern mirrors may flatter your outfit—but these will flatter your walls, your values, and your story.

• Symbolic Romance – A carved bouquet, a pair of lovebirds, a lyre—each detail a whisper from the past, wishing you a beautiful life.
• Timeless Beauty – Whether your interior is grand and gilded or minimal and modern, these mirrors slip in like they’ve always belonged.
• Eco-Chic & Soulful – Pre-loved, full of patina, and proudly not mass-produced. A sustainable choice that still feels like luxury.
• Light + Space, the French Way – Brighten a dim hallway. Double a dining room. Add drama to the bedroom. Voilà!

Mirror, Mirror, What’s in a Motif?
These wedding mirrors weren’t just pretty gifts—they were symbols of hope and prosperity:

• Nesting Doves & Lovebirds – For enduring affection and a harmonious home.
• Wheat & Grapevines – Abundance, fertility, and a toast to many harvests ahead.
• Musical Instruments – A melodic marriage, literally.
• Floral Baskets & Laurel Crowns – Beauty, honor, and plenty of elegant dinners by candlelight.

Fun Fact: In Brittany, wedding mirrors were sometimes paraded through the village to show off the wedding presents …gilded proof as well that love had officially arrived.

A Journey from Châteaux to You
Our antique marriage mirrors have lived full lives: reflecting candlelight in châteaux, catching passing glances in grand salons, and hanging quietly in country manors. We source them across France and Italy—from trusted dealers, hidden brocantes, and the occasional magical attic.

When restoration is needed, we do it with patience and a soft cloth, always preserving the original glass, gilt, and je ne sais quoi.
