Antique mirrors date to a time when most people had never seen one, let alone owned one. Reserved for the most privileged, these labour-intensive luxuries were mounted by the most eminent mirror-makers in the exquisitely carved giltwood frames that we see today. With mirrors everywhere today, it is easy to forget that these creations are true masterpieces and the result of hundreds of hours of painstaking skilled manual work.
Furnishing with antique mirrors is a great way to enhance and give structure to your interior design scheme. At Nicholas Wells Antiques; we source and stock an expertly curated selection of stunning 17th to 20th-century British and Continental antique mirrors in London.

The mirror, so to say, reflects a certain idea of life. An idea of splendour and beauty onto an interior space. From its conception in Syria 500 AD, its spread throughout the Roman Empire and to the Golden Age of glassmaking in Venice, mirrors were, and still are, the epitome of luxury. Bound up in connotations of love and eros yet also medicine, philosophy and technology. The mirror perfectly treads the line between science and style. No wonder they were thought to hold magical powers.
