Authentic Venetian Glass Mirrors
History of Murano Glass Mirrors
The history of Murano mirrors began on the Venetian island of Murano, Italy, in the 15th century. Fusing brilliant glassmaking techniques with early mirror-backing processes, these masterpieces became legendary status symbols for European nobility and remain the pinnacle of luxury glass artistry today.
In the last century, new designs and colours have been developed to satisfy transitional, modern and contemporary style requests as well.
We carry an extensive collection of certified, original Murano glass mirrors in different styles.
In addition, thanks to the skilled Glass Masters we work with, we can satisfy most requests for artistic mirrors, and reproduce one-of-a-kind pieces designed by architects and designers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a Murano glass mirror and a Venetian mirror?
None — a Venetian mirror is simply the traditional name for a Murano glass mirror, both referring to hand-
blown, hand-etched glass mirrors made on the island of Murano in the Venice lagoon.
Are your Venetian mirrors handmade?
Yes. Every mirror in our collection is handcrafted by glass Masters on the island of Murano, using techniques
developed since the 15th century, and can be customized to match a specific architectural or interior design
brief.
Do you supply Venetian mirrors wholesale to retailers and designers?
Yes. We supply furniture retailers, home décor stores, interior designers, and architects across Canada and the
United States with authentic, certified Venetian and Murano glass mirrors.
