The first two photos are courtesy of google images- I just typed in Venetian mirrors, and they came up! I really like how pickled the first mirror is, it's obviously antique. The second photo shows reproduction mirrors, but I like the placement over the twin sinks.
The last two photos are my own- sorry about the poor quality iPhone snaps!
Just to show a current project going on in our home amidst a million other unfinished jobs! We've just put up these pink Venetian mirrors in our hallway, which we are about to redecorate, hence all the black smudges and marks over the walls! We will have to take down the mirrors, whilst we decorate, but that's easy enough to do. It's hard to get a shot that's straight because the angle of our hallway is very narrow. The new colour will be the colour of the painted patch around the light switch, it's an off-white, and the woodwork, will be Cornforth White eggshell. I'd also like to change the light switch and its position too....
The mirrors are about 100 years old, and have some pickling, especially the one on the right hand side. They're a pale, peachy pink and are nice and sparkly. They're not identical, but you would have to look really carefully to spot the slight differences between them. I haven't often seen pink ones about, so it's nice to have a pair. If we won the lottery, and moved to a big house, I would love to put them above his and hers matching marble topped sinks!
Funnily enough, we bought one in Holland, and the second one, only a week later when we came back home in a local antique shop. They were both similarly priced too! They need a very good clean at the moment-another job to add to my list....
