antique mirror

Old silvered glass

An antique mirror is a mirror made to look aged, typically with deliberate imperfections in the reflective surface—dark spots, clouding, or a foxed patina that suggests decades of oxidation.

The effect is decorative rather than functional, valued for atmosphere over clarity: The antique mirror in the entryway gave the space a vintage feel.

Also called antiqued mirror.
