Creating an antique mirror installation for a high-traffic restaurant required balancing durability with aesthetics.

The Story

Every successful restaurant creates an atmosphere that guests remember long after the meal is finished. For Chinatti’s, the design team selected handcrafted antique mirror to introduce warmth and architectural character while complementing the restaurant’s exposed steel, rich wood finishes, decorative lighting, and contemporary design.


Each antique mirror panel was individually handcrafted by TCG Glass using proprietary antiquing techniques, ensuring that every piece possessed its own unique pattern and natural variation. Rather than producing the bright, perfect reflections of conventional mirror, the handcrafted finish softens light and adds visual depth, creating a comfortable, welcoming environment.



The completed installation demonstrates how custom antique mirror can become an architectural element rather than simply a decorative surface. The mirror reflects the activity of the restaurant while contributing texture, elegance, and timeless appeal that continues to define the space.
