Top quality, untouched or tarnished original antique mirrors from the 18th and 19th centuries are becoming increasingly difficult to find. To meet the ever increasing demand for these beautiful, classical decorative pieces Tony Williams Antique Mirrors (based in Leek, Staffordshire ) began to make reproduction mirrors.Many antique mirrors reproductions are made using resin, plaster, paint and a coating of what is called ‘Dutch Gold’ (a form of cheap imitation gold leaf). Tony Williams antique mirrors use original mirror designs and only the highest quality material for their reproductions. All mirror frames are made from the finest quality seasoned timber or even high quality old wood and gilding is carried out with genuine gold leaf.
The process allows the customer to choose the size and design of the mirror. They are able to specifiy the detailed decoration, scrolls, cartouches etc. ultimately resulting in a beautiful, top quality reproduction mirror that fits in perfectly with their home decor and will go on to become the antique of the future.
