How to clean the glass of antique mirrors?
If you just install antique mirrors, your work is not finished, as you need to clean and maintain these on a regular basis:
- At first you must know what the age-old value of a mirror is. Sometimes, the curio or a collectible gain more prominence as it grows old, so you must not hurry when you start with the cleaning process.
- Lay the mirror on the surface of a table, but before that, with the help of a screwdriver or plier, remove the mirror from the wall and keep it on the table.
- Antique mirrors must always be cleaned with a soap that is non-abrasive in nature, so that there are no sediments of chemical left, or the quality of the mirror is not damaged, or there is no chipping of or scratching of the glass.
- After this, you can use a simple paint stripper to remove any paint form the rear end of the antique mirrors.
- Finally, when your cleaning is complete, you can apply black acrylic paint at the back of the mirror, and then again hang it on its former position.

How can you decorate your private bar with antique mirrors?
If you have a private bar in your home, then also you can decorate the bar by installing semi-framed and framed antique mirrors inside the bar, which gives an illusion of a larger space all around. Oversized antique mirrors can be used as a covering for the wine cabinets, and they can also be placed as the surface table top, where you actually place the wine glasses. Added light and extra precision in placing the mirror strategically enhances the elegance of the bar, and you also get more friends and relatives visiting your house just for this reason. Instead of using large antique mirrors, you can also enhance the ambiance of the room, by placing small mirror tiles that have a doubling effect. You can even decorate the ceiling of your private bar with small sized antique mirrors that are cut into different shapes and sizes.
