The following are examples of the various styles of mirrors available.
All our tins are salvaged from turn-of-the-century buildings and therefore styles change frequently.
When selecting mirrors, please state the size and type of the mirror (i.e. crown, border, repeat).
We will be happy to recommend patterns available.
