Vintage-style custom mirrors can add elegance, charm, and a touch of old-world sophistication to your dining room. Whether you prefer ornate Baroque frames, distressed farmhouse designs, or Art Deco-inspired shapes, here are some ideas to help you create the perfect vintage mirror for your space: 1. Frame Styles for Vintage Mirrors Ornate Gilded Frames – Gold or silver leaf detailing with intricate carvings (think Louis XV or Rococo styles). Distressed Wood Frames – Weathered or whitewashed wood for a rustic, farmhouse, or French Provincial look. Bevelled Edge Mirrors – Classic 1920s-1940s style with elegant tapered edges. Sunburst or Starburst Mirrors – Mid-century or Art Deco-inspired metal or wood designs. Victorian-Style Frames – Dark wood with floral or scroll motifs. Industrial Metal Frames – Wrought iron or brass with an antique patina. 2. Customization Ideas Hand-Painted Details – Floral motifs, monograms, or faux aging for an antique feel. Mirror Shape – Oval, round, arched, or rectangular with decorative corners. Antiqued Mirror Finish – Mercury glass, foxed (aged spots), or smoked glass for an aged look. Backlighting – Add LED strips behind the frame for a soft, vintage glow. 3. Placement in the Dining Room Above a Buffet or Sideboard – A large vintage mirror can make the room feel grander. As a Statement Wall – A gallery wall of mismatched vintage-style mirrors. Opposite a Window – Reflects natural light and brightens the space. Leaned Against the Wall – For a casual, eclectic vibe. 4. Where to Find or Order Custom Vintage Mirrors Etsy – Many artisans offer handcrafted vintage-style mirrors. Local Antique Shops & Salvage Yards – Great for finding authentic aged frames. Custom Frame Shops – Can create a vintage look with new materials. DIY Option – Buy an old frame and refinish it, then add a custom-cut mirror.
