Gene Landon is teaching a mirror class at Olde Mill this year. At the first session there was a lot of discussion on where to find "period" style mirrors.
One thought was to get blown glass made into a mirror. I understand the period mirrors used tin and mercury, and this was replaced with silver coatings.
I've done some web searchs for mirrors with little luck. Does anyone have an idea on what we could do to obtain "period" style mirrors for our Chippendale mirrors?
Thanks,
