Vintage Gold Leaf Mirrors

May 3, 2012 by Allison 2 Comments

gold leaf mirrors - gold leaf French bathroom mirror - Heide Claire via AtticmagFrench gold leaf mirrors are classic, versatile decorative elements at home in any room.

Decorating advice often given to those furnishing a first home is not to rush:  don’t buy just to fill a space.  It’s better to wait, saving to buy better quality pieces adaptable not only to location but style. Antique and vintage gold leaf mirrors fall gracefully into this category. Aged to perfection, the patina on the wide frame [top] is hard to miss.  The beaded trim along the glass adds another layer of detail.  What a beautiful way to start and end each day.

    […] A zebra stair runner elicits an immediate “oh my.” It’s bold, for sure, and that kind of pattern on a staircase would never be described as a safe choice. But given the super serious décor in this entry (not to mention a tangerine table skirt — I’ll withhold comment on that), the zany animal print suggests a youthful, adventurous spirit and a sense of humor. Allison also showed this room in her post on Vintage Gold Leaf Mirrors. […]
