A vintage vanity mirror is a beautiful and functional piece that adds a touch of old-world charm to any dressing space. These mirrors often feature intricate designs, ornate frames, and sometimes additional elements like lights or storage compartments. Here’s a guide to help you explore and appreciate them:

Types of Vintage Vanity Mirrors

1. Art Deco Vanity Mirrors (1920s-1930s)

   • Sleek geometric designs, chrome or Bakelite frames, sometimes with etched glass.

   • Often paired with matching dressing table sets.

2. Hollywood Regency Mirrors (1940s-1950s)

   • Glamorous, oversized round or oval mirrors with gold or silver frames.

   • Some have built-in lights for a “starlet” makeup experience.

3. Victorian & Edwardian Vanity Mirrors (Late 1800s-Early 1900s)

   • Heavy carved wood (mahogany, oak) or gilded frames with floral motifs.

   • Often attached to a small jewelry tray or brush set.

5. Travel Vanity Mirrors (Early 1900s)

Where to Find Vintage Vanity Mirrors

• Online marketplaces – Etsy, eBay, Chairish, and 1stDibs offer curated selections.

• Estate sales & auctions – Often hidden gems at reasonable prices.

Restoration & Styling Tips

• Clean gently – Use mild soap for glass, polish metal/wood carefully.

• Rewire lights – If it has bulbs, update wiring for safety while keeping the vintage look.
