Mirrored Surfaces have always had a way of captivating the eye, but none are quite as enchanting as antiqued mirrored glass. Its softly weathered finish and delicate shimmer create a sense of depth and nostalgia, evoking the elegance of eras gone by. Once a signature feature of grand European interiors, antiqued mirror is stepping back into the spotlight of modern design, this time with a fresh perspective.

A Glimpse into History

Over centuries, mirrored glass has played a pivotal role in elevating spaces. Antiqued mirrors were first popular in the 1600s and 1700s, when hand-made mirrored glass was used to decorate the walls of European palaces and grand homes. These mirrors – often created using special techniques that gave them a soft, aged look – became a symbol of luxury and elegance. In famous spaces, such as the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles, they weren’t just for decoration, they helped make rooms feel larger, brighter, and almost magical by reflecting candlelight and architectural details.

Over time, the look of these mirrors changed with design trends, from the ornate styles of the Baroque and Neoclassical eras – to the bold, clean lines of Art Deco. Through time, their purpose stayed the same: to add light, depth, and drama to a room.

Today, AKDO is bringing that same timeless beauty into contemporary interiors, reimagining antiqued mirror for modern spaces that value both style and substance.

A Mirror to the Past, Framed in the Present

AKDO’s Regency Collection embraces this revival with a fresh yet timeless point of view. Featuring beveled 4” x 8” tiles and slender 1” x 12” mosaics, each piece is faceted like a jewel, catching the light and offering subtle hints of gold, bronze, and silver beneath its antiqued surface. These glimmers shift with every glance, making each tile feel alive and ever-changing.

The surface of Regency’s antiqued glass is more than decorative, it’s evocative. Its quietly distressed patina captures the charm of vintage mirrors while maintaining a refined sophistication. Whether installed in a powder room, as an accent wall, or as a dramatic feature in a formal entryway, it creates a sense of history without overpowering the space.

A Toast to Timeless Design

Antiqued mirror is beloved in interiors due to its ability to manipulate both light and space. Because it softens reflections, it adds warmth rather than starkness, making a room feel both intimate and expansive. It’s especially effective in small or dimly lit spaces, where it bounces ambient light to create an inviting atmosphere.

Designers also use antiqued mirror to anchor a space with visual texture. When placed behind shelving, in a bar alcove, or along a backsplash, it offers dimension without the cold clarity of standard mirror. It reflects what’s around it in an abstract, artistic way, almost like a painting that shifts with the environment.

Legacy Reimagined, One Tile at a Time
