Pour en savoir

The origins of the Venetian mirror go up with the Renaissance, at the time when Venice was distinguished already in this production amongst other things like glass making or blowing. A mirror is mainly a glass plate, with a covered surface with aluminium, which reproduces an image or reflects the objects which are presented to it.

The mirrors in antiquity and until the Middle Ages were only simple discs of metal (bronzes, metal or silver) slightly convex and polished... according to the shape of the mirror

This method to cover a piece of plane glass with a fine reflective layer of metal was very largely employed in Venice during the XVI century ; metal employed was an alloy (amalgamate) of mercury and an other metal

The chemical process of covering the surface of the glass with the silver was discovered by Justus von Liebig in 1835 and remains always employed for the production of the mirrors.

The current process consists in sprinkling, vacum, a very fine layer of aluminium or silver on the lower surface of a glass plate

The mirrors have a very long tradition either as functional objects or like decorative objects, the first mirrors were small handy mirrors, made with plates of silver and in certain cases with polished bronze leaves ; Mirrors large enough to reflect a whole person appeared only in the Ist century after J.C.

The Celtes populations copied to the Romans this production and, already at the end of the Middle Ages, the silver mirrors or polished bronze had become objects of common use in all Europe

Only between the end of the XII century and the beginning of the XIII century, the mirror with a metal layer started to be used, with the renaissance, Venice and Nuremberg became also places considered for the production of such mirrors

The mirrors produced in Venice quickly became famous for their quality; in spite of the prohibitions emitted by the Doges, the Venetian craftsmen did not hesitate to carry the secrecies of their art in other cities and, on the XVII century, London and Paris also imposed themselves as places of production of mirrors

Within the end of the XVII century end, the mirrors became an important element of decoration for the interiors; to hang a decorative mirror on a chimney is fashionable ; these mirrors often have a framework made out of glass; the union mirror-chimney remains one of the most trendy decoration element today.
