Antique Mirror Services in Manhattan, NYC
Normally, we’d discuss this under the topic of “Mirrors” but it’s such an important, striking and customized end of our business that we thought we could tell you a little about our services for antique mirrors here. Let’s start off by stating that there are very few companies out there that possess the experience, tools or skill to properly restore and provide antique mirrors. We offer two unique solutions that you may have interest in.

Antique Mirror Re-Silvering Services in Manhattan, NY
Every individual antique mirror has it’s own completely unique appearance. This can vary depending on the time period it came from or the place. When we speak of appearance, we’re talking about the look and feel. To be more specific, terms like bevel, etching, shape, engraving, and glass tint should all come to mind. The vast majority of these rare mirrors are priceless heirlooms. Over time, they age and lose their shine or brilliance.
In order to restore these antique mirrors, we use a very special, delicate process known simply as “Re-Silvering”. Our team will specifically remove the original aged reflective surface, deep clean the original glass and apply a brand new silver layer. This is done to protect the glass. The end product will appear to be an un-touched antique mirror that has all the reflectivity of something off the rack or brand new.
“In-House” Antique Mirror Fabrication in Manhattan, NYC
Manhattan Shower Doors is widely experienced and trained in the art of providing a service known as “Mirror Antiquing” or “Distressed Mirrors”. These are all hand crafted and custom fabricated by our team locally. Since each piece is done exclusively for you with either a chosen decorative finish or something custom, every antique mirror we provide is 100% unique.
We offer two different categories of antique mirror design. The first maintains a traditional, decorative display while the latter offers more of a European aesthetic. Again we need to emphasize that many antique mirrors you may read about or see are not “hand crafted” but are mass produced. This negates the entire idea of something that you had a hand in creating that will forever be in your possession. Our Custom hand crafted, locally fabricated antique mirror can be found in apartments, offices, restaurants, and much more. We take enormous pride in the custom output or result of the project and are completely open to any design suggestions from our customers.
