ANTIQUE MIRROR COLLECTIONS
The Artistic Craftsmanship of Antiqued Glass & Mirrors at L ' Atelier MB
At L ' Atelier MB, we view the creation of antiqued glass mirror panels and tiles as an art form. Our approach combines time-honored techniques with modern innovation to achieve the precise level of 'foxing'—the aged look that makes each piece uniquely captivating. As a premier antique mirror company and manufacturer, we meticulously curate each design to reflect both the beauty of the past and the needs of contemporary aesthetics.
Mastering the Art of Antiquing Mirrors
Our process begins with selecting the appropriate technique to create the desired antiqued effect. One of our hallmark styles is the Mercury Sparkle, which features fine speckles reminiscent of the earliest stages of mirror degradation. This technique replicates the delicate beauty of vintage mercury mirror plates, achieving a look that traditionally takes centuries to form. The subtle speckling creates a mirror that reflects minimal light, adding an understated elegance to any space.
For those seeking a more pronounced aged appearance, our Fossil collection is ideal. This collection showcases larger areas of distressed movement and aged spots, emulating the significant wear seen in ancient mirrors. These mirrors can be further customized with metallic pigments such as bronze, gold, or silver, enhancing their luxurious appeal. Additionally, the glass itself can be tinted in various colors, including vibrant blues, greens, and smoky tones, allowing for a high degree of personalization. Each piece is carefully neutralized on the back to halt further aging, then sealed and finished with safety foil to ensure longevity and durability.
Customization and Versatility
At L ' Atelier MB, we are committed to offering a wide range of sizes and shapes to meet our clients' diverse needs. Whether you are an architect, contractor, or designer, we work closely with you to create bespoke mirror pieces that align perfectly with your vision. Our extensive selection includes over 20 different styles of mirrors, available in quick ship sizes such as 8"x8", 12"x12", 12"x18", 16"x16", 20"x20", and 24"x24". Each mirror is 1/5" thick and commercial grade, ensuring it meets the highest standards of quality and can be integrated seamlessly into any project. These quick-ship options are ready to be dispatched within two days, offering both convenience and flexibility.
Additionally, we have expanded our product line to include acrylic tray mirrors under the new brand Object Manner. These trays, available in six different colors and two sizes (8"x8" and 16"x16"), are designed to add a touch of sophistication to any home. Like our mirrors, these trays are ready to ship within two days, providing a quick and elegant solution for home decor needs.
Collaborative Design Services
Recognizing the growing demand for comprehensive design solutions, L ' Atelier MB is excited to announce the expansion of our services to include Bespoke Interior Design and Artistic Direction. Our goal is to foster deeper relationships with our clients in the architecture and design (A&D) community, offering expert guidance through every stage of the design process.
Our interior design team brings a wealth of knowledge and experience, particularly from European design traditions. This background allows us to offer insights into various time periods and materials, such as faux finishes, fabrics, wood essences, and stones. These elements contribute to the visual weight and harmony of your spaces, ensuring that each room not only looks beautiful but also feels cohesive and functional.
Our approach is holistic, considering the ergonomics of spaces, the interrelation between rooms, and the harmony of furniture, finishes, and colors. Much like a choir, every element of a room should work together to create a unified and emotive experience. Our designers work closely with clients to understand their unique needs and preferences, translating their visions into stunning realities.
To facilitate this process, we offer a personalized consultation service. Clients can initiate their design journey by completing a survey to outline their project scope. This information allows us to connect them with our Senior Interior Designer for an in-depth consultation, ensuring that every detail is carefully considered and expertly executed.
At L ' Atelier MB, we are more than just a mirror manufacturer. We are a partner in creating spaces that resonate with beauty, elegance, and timeless appeal. By combining our expertise in antique mirror craftsmanship with a commitment to collaborative design, we strive to exceed expectations and deliver truly exceptional results.
