Mirrors for Every Style of Home
A well-chosen mirror can do far more than reflect a room. It can bring light into a darker corner, create a sense of space, add architectural interest or become a striking decorative element in its own right. At Gild & Co., our collection of mirrors in Vancouver includes both genuine antique mirrors and newly made designs selected for their beauty, craftsmanship and character.
Antique Mirrors
Our antique mirrors include French and European pieces with the character that comes from age. From elegant Louis Philippe and Louis XVI designs to distinctive gilt and painted frames, antique mirrors bring history, patina and a sense of permanence to an interior.
An antique mirror can be particularly beautiful paired with contemporary furniture. The contrast between an aged frame and clean-lined upholstery or modern lighting gives a room a collected, layered quality.
New Mirrors
Our New Mirrors are pieces made within approximately the past ten years. This collection includes both contemporary designs and beautifully crafted reproductions inspired by traditional European styles.
A newly made mirror can be the right choice when you love the look of an antique but want a particular size, finish or design. Our collection ranges from classic and French-inspired styles to contemporary, sculptural and decorative mirrors.
Choosing the Right Mirror
The best mirror for a room depends on more than its shape and finish. Consider the scale of the wall, the furniture surrounding it and what you want the mirror to accomplish.
A large mirror can make a strong statement above a console, fireplace or sideboard, while a smaller decorative mirror can add interest to a hallway, bedroom or powder room. In a living room or entryway, a mirror can help reflect natural light and create a greater sense of openness.
Think about proportion as well. A mirror above a console or piece of furniture generally looks best when its size relates thoughtfully to the furniture beneath it. The frame is equally important: an ornate gilt mirror can become a focal point in a restrained interior, while a simple contemporary frame can quietly complement more decorative furnishings.
French & European Mirrors
French mirrors have a particularly enduring appeal. Their proportions, sculptural frames and distinctive finishes can bring an architectural quality to a room, whether the piece is a genuine antique or a newly made interpretation of a traditional design.
At Gild & Co., we love the way French and European mirrors work alongside both antiques and contemporary furniture. A vintage console paired with a contemporary mirror can feel fresh and unexpected, while an antique mirror can bring warmth and history to an otherwise modern room.
Whether you're looking for a large statement mirror, an antique French mirror, a decorative wall mirror or a newly made piece, explore our collection to find a mirror that adds character and dimension to your home.
