antique mirrors
Old looking glasses
Antique mirrors are mirrors of considerable age, typically at least a century old, valued for their craftsmanship and aesthetic character.
The silvering on old mirrors often develops a distinctive clouded or spotted patina called foxing, which collectors prize rather than repair.
The antique mirrors in the hallway gave the house a sense of history.
The term also describes new mirrors manufactured to look aged.
