How TCG Glass Mirrors Blend Antique Methods and Modern Technology

Adding an antique mirror to your private residence or place of business offers a variety of benefits. Mirrors, in general, help increase the lighting within a given area and create the illusion of more space. Using an antique mirror specifically gives you the added benefits of a stately, distinguished aesthetic; visual interest; and artistry.

What Makes MirrorUnique Unique?

1. Handmade Craftsmanship

Everything within the MirrorUnique line is handmade. This elevates each project into a custom piece of art.

2. North American Production

Every TCG Glass antique mirror is created exclusively in North America, helping ensure certain standards of quality, workmanship, and corporate practices. This is one big differentiator between TCG's antique mirrors and those of many of our competitors.

3. Replication of Mirrors of Antiquity

Within our mirror creation process, we use the finest hand-silvered glass. We then manually antique the mirror with its characteristic distressing. This helps our products accurately replicate antique mirrors in quality, workmanship, and aesthetics.

A Note about Samples and the Final Product

If you request a sample of an antique mirror, please be aware these samples are taken from larger panels. By the nature of these handmade pieces, there is going to be variance not only from sample to sample but from the sample to your final ordered piece. There’s the possibility of potential variation in both color and design once you receive that larger finished product.

Every handmade antique mirror is truly a piece of art, and no single sample is going to be able to fully capture the variances in distressed appearance across the entirety of the mirror.
