What is an aged mirror called?
Antique floor mirrors, also known as standing mirrors or dressing mirrors, didn’t really come onto the market until the 1700s when new processes made it possible to produce larger mirrors. They are tall mirrors that stand alone on the ground so you can see most or all of your body at once.
How do you seal mirror edges?
I would use a clear varnish. Varnish has very little body and would seal the edge where the glass and metalized layer are exposed. By sealing this edge moisture can not get in and start delaminating the new mirror. If you want something with more body use a silicone sealer.

Can a light antique mirror be made at home?
Each piece can be toughened and is uniquely distressed, aged and antiqued to suit your requirements. Our light antique mirror glass can be tailored to suit, as we make it all in house. We can simply take the harsh newness out of the mirror or gently antique the edges leaving the centre clear.
