Antique mirror
The real antique mirror has a long history and high ornamental value. It is favored by collectors because of its unique craftsmanship and rare shape. Antique mirrors were first produced in Murano and silver-plated in Venice in the 16th century. It was not until the 17th century that Britain began to make antique mirrors.

Laminated mirror
I don't know if you have heard of this kind of mirror. A laminated mirror is a mirror made by bonding two or more layers of glass and a reflective film in the middle through an intermediate interlayer material. This mirror combines the advantages of safety glass and the reflective characteristics of a mirror, and has high safety and durability.
This structural form also determines its high safety. Even if the mirror is hit hard and breaks, sharp glass fragments will not be splashed out, and the overall integrity will be guaranteed, because the interlayer material (usually PVB film) in the middle can effectively bond the fragments, thereby reducing the harm to the human body. It is also excellent in durability and sound insulation, so it is widely used in places that require sound insulation.
Glass brick mirror
Glass brick mirror has a very unique visual effect. It is a decorative material that combines mirror effect and glass brick. It has both the firmness and light transmittance of glass brick and the reflective function of mirror. During the manufacturing process, one or more sides of the glass brick will be mirrored.
