By admin

Are You trying to get your mirror to look aged? Well you have come to the right place. I have written extensively on the subject of decorative wall mirrorsand extetensive writing has helped a number of home owners all over the world. If you want to be one those people then I suggest you take a few minutes to read through this brief but useful article.

You can convert the glass area of the frame to look like an aged mirror using a variety of ways. If you are not using mirrors that are unframed you can even convert the frame to a tray if you wanted to. {You Can do this even withThis can even be done with} some makeup mirror wall mount or whatever type

Some of the options you can use include gelatin or silver. You can also consider using an aluminum leaf. I know that most chemical kits cost something like for 300 square feet but you can just use the latter on glass at a smaller fee than most| however, you can also just use the aluminum leaf because it is cheaper.

I am aware that some people have tried these methods to no avail especially because of some difficulty removing the grey paint on the back of a new mirror and under that is silver and copper plating.

You can also try to use Antique Mirror Patina, which is a water based alkaline solution, a water based solution made from alkaline and and mimics the blemish and aged look of antique mirrors. You can do it on your own at or so i.e. about per square feet.

Of course there are many other options you can use to turn your decorative wall mirrors or any type you may have into an antique. I do believe that what I have provided will help you get started.
