1 AGED BEAUTY
When decorating with mirrors, there are lots of elements to consider. As well as thinking of the style of the frame and its placement, also think about the appearance of the glass itself. ‘Mirrors are a viable alternative to expensive pictures, and function as works of art in their own right,’ explains Antiques Roadshow expert Marc Allum. ‘What most people would call “worn out” is a joy to others. Where the silvering and foxing on a period mirror is very poor and degraded, making it rather redundant as a mirror, it is actually a decorators’ dream and even adds value.’
