Vintage Window Mirror

Vintage window mirrors are a lovely way to add style and interest whilst creating an illusion of space and depth in the garden or indoors. They can be especially effective in smaller, darker rooms or at the end of a long hallway.

I have several vintage window frames available for sale, all have the original leaded glass panes intact. I paint these window mirrors to order, as commissions, or if you are looking for a project I would be happy to discuss selling you a window in its original salvaged condition.

Each window mirror consists of a vintage wooden, leaded glass window frame which I paint as a custom order in your choice of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. As you will see from the pictures, my clients often choose two colours of paint; a paler colour for the underneath coat and a darker one on top. This is a lovely way of showing the age of the window, as once the frame is distressed you will see the base colour peep through. I then protect the paint with clear wax, replace any missing putty and fix an acrylic mirror to the back along with two heavy duty strap hangers and picture cord.

To give you inspiration, I have included pictures of previous commissions. Please note, the photographs of the large windows are for inspiration only as I do not currently have any of this size available.

MEASUREMENTS

These are approximate measurements for the frame only as over time wood will expand and contract.

PLEASE NOTE

I paint these window mirrors to order, as commissions, so the lead time is approximately three to four weeks. During this time, I keep you up to date with photographs by Etsy Convo.

To keep the weight of the finished product down (the original frames are very heavy and solid!) I use acrylic mirror, so please note that acrylic is flexible, so the reflection can differ slightly from glass mirror when looked at from different angles.

The frame and glass do reflect the age of the window and show signs of rust, clouding and scratches. Due to it's weight and age, if you decide to use one of these frames outside I would recommend you take it down for safe keeping during poor weather. We have also noted that if hung outside, condensation can build up on the inside of the glass when there has been a drop in temperature overnight, however, over time this will clear.
