Antique Mirrors, Darling — The Drama Starts Here
Welcome to the world of Wildschut Antiques, where antique mirrors aren’t just wall decor — they’re full-on main characters. Our collection is an unapologetically glamorous nod to the days when craftsmanship meant something, and interiors had personality. Forget flat-packed monotony. This is bold beauty, centuries deep.
Shop Antique Mirrors Online — The Wildschut Way
We source iconic mirrors from 18th to early 20th-century France, Italy, and Scandinavia — Louis Philippe, Empire, Louis XV, Louis XVI, Napoleon III, and Gustavian, to name a few. Each one handpicked and expertly restored with a wink to its original gilded glory. Gilded curves. Foxed glass. Decadent drama. All real. All divine.
Whether you’re hunting for a grand salon mirror or a petite jewel for your powder room, this is where your next obsession begins.
Why Antique Mirrors Are Everything
Antique mirrors do more than reflect your good side. They:
- Bounce light like a runway show — even in moody rooms.
- Magically expand small spaces (no wand required).
- Add instant character — a bit like casting a French aristocrat into your hallway.
And because they’ve already survived generations of candlelit soirées, war-time gossip, and who-knows-what in Parisian boudoirs, they’re as sustainable as they are spectacular.
Pick Your Mirror Mood
It’s all about the frame. Let’s match your style to the mirror of your dreams:
- Minimalist Chic: Go for a Louis XVI mirror — straight lines, gold leaf, restrained elegance.
- Maximalist Grandeur: Rococo, baby. Swirls, carvings, and a little too much — in the best way.
- Effortless Cool: The ever-versatile Louis Philippe. With crest? Without? Your call.
- Dramatic Edge: Try a black Napoleon III. Subtle as a whisper, sharp as a stiletto.
Behind the Scenes: Our Mirror Provenance
We scour French estates, European markets, and discreet auctions. Some mirrors lived above marble fireplaces in noble salons; others watched history unfold in private dressing rooms. When needed, we restore them just enough to keep their edge — patina, foxing, age spots? We call that character.
Did you know? Many of our mirrors feature authentic mercury or silver nitrate glass with that signature smoky tone you simply can’t fake. (For the full nerdy breakdown, see our blog: How to Spot a Real Antique Mirror.)
