About Venetian Mirrored Furniture

Why Venetian glass?

In the Middle Ages Venice was the glassmaking centre of the Western world. By the end of the 13th century the government had moved the glass industry to the island of Murano. The name of this island is synonymous with high quality glass of beautiful design. So not only does Venetian glass have a long and illustrious history, it also embodies style, elegance, sophistication and luxury.

Venetian mirrored furniture

The Venetian mirrored furniture style that is so popular today dates from  the 18th and 19th century. The elaborate ,ornate style that we associate with venetian mirrored furniture has a baroque influence. It is opulent and luxurious making venetian mirrored furniture a striking choice. Whenever a style is revisited a new modern twist is added and Venetian mirrored furniture is no exception. As well as the ornate rococco styles found in the Venetian mirror designs, modern taste also dictates more sleek clean lines (these are evident in our cabinets and console tables)  The combination of these 2 opposing styles is one of the most striking and appealing elements of contemporary interior design.
