Reflecting Timeless Beauty & Luxury
A mirror pulls light into a room and makes it feel twice the size, and a vintage mirror does both while adding a frame with history. Right now there are 1,146 vintage mirrors on Whoppah, with the 1960s and 1970s as the richest decades, a strong space-age contingent in chrome and smoked glass, and elegant 1950s pieces in brass and wood for a softer look.
Belgian maker DeKnudt is the name you will see most, known for sculptural frames in metal and lacquered wood. Artemide and Fontana Arte bring Italian glass craftsmanship, sometimes with integrated lighting, while Spectrum, Hillebrand and Pastoe represent Dutch and German design of the period. Roche Bobois and Bieffeplast complete the mix with more decorative and plastic-framed pieces. Glass naturally leads the materials, followed by wood, metal, brass, plastic and bronze frames.
Each mirror is reviewed by our curation team before it goes live, so attribution and condition have been checked. You can bid, buy now, or message the seller for a closer look at the frame, and insured shipping is available anywhere in Europe.
About Vintage Mirrors
More than just a reflective surface, vintage mirrors captivate pieces of history that add depth, light, and character to any space. As other vintage decoration does, vintage mirrors embody the elegance and craftsmanship of bygone eras, serving as functional decor that both embellishes your surroundings and holds a piece of the past as cultural heritage.
The Perfect Complement To Any Room
Choosing a vintage mirror is the perfect opportunity to infuse your home with a touch of timeless allure and stylish retro decoration. These mirrors carry a unique history and cultural heritage, often adorned with ornate frames and intricate details that evoke a sense of nostalgia. By opting for a vintage mirror, you're not only adding a distinctive accent to your decor but also contributing to sustainable living by repurposing cherished items from the past. You will always have an interesting story to tell your guests about the vintage mirror.
Brief History Behind
The history of vintage mirrors dates back centuries, from the opulent Baroque designs of the 17th century to the Art Deco glamour of the 1920s. Mirrors have evolved alongside changing design trends, reflecting the aesthetics of each era. Vintage mirrors offer a reflection into the styles and tastes of yesteryears, making them not just functional objects but also windows into history.
Main Characteristics
Characterized by their intricate frames, ornate detailing, and exceptional craftsmanship, vintage mirrors pose a unique purchase that will complement any environment or other vintage furniture. The mirrors themselves often exhibit unique qualities, such as patina and antique glass imperfections, which add to their charm. From gilded elegance to understated chic, each vintage mirror possesses a distinct personality that transforms any room.
Important Part of Vintage Mirrors
Beyond their reflection, vintage mirrors play a crucial role in interior design. They have the power to visually expand spaces, amplify light, and create focal points that quickly attract attention. Vintage mirrors add depth to small rooms, create drama in larger spaces, and infuse a sense of timelessness that contemporary mirrors often lack.

How do I recognise a DeKnudt mirror?
DeKnudt mirrors from the 1960s and 1970s usually have a label or stamp on the back, often with a model number, and the frames show a consistent factory finish in metal, brass tones or coloured lacquer. Many designs feature layered or stepped frames and bevelled glass. Ask the seller for a photo of the reverse side, and compare the frame shape with documented DeKnudt series before bidding.
Is foxing or spotting on old mirror glass a problem?
Small grey or black spots along the edges, known as foxing, come from the silver backing ageing and are a normal sign of a genuine vintage mirror. Some buyers seek it out for its soft, antique character. Heavy clouding in the centre affects usability and lowers value, so check the photos carefully. Resilvering is possible but costly, and it removes the patina that makes the piece vintage.
How are vintage mirrors shipped safely?
Sellers tape a cross over the glass, wrap the mirror in foam or bubble wrap and box it flat between rigid boards, or use a wooden crate for larger pieces. Shipping through Whoppah is insured, so transport damage is covered. Mirrors above a metre in size or with delicate frames usually travel with a furniture courier, and pickup is an option if the seller is nearby.
