Where do you get your designs?

Over the years, we have identified a number of talented artists and made exclusive arrangements with them to etch the artworks you see on our site.

Some of them are big name artists. Others are up-and-comers. All of them bring a touch of personality to their work to add a special flair to your home.

How do you make such detailed etchings?

Other etchings grind deeply into the surface of the glass, erasing any possibility of fine details and crunching the glass surface into tiny shards that leave a rough surface where it's been etched.

But run your finger over the etching you receive from us. You'll find the etching so delicate that the etched surface feels almost as smooth as polished glass.

That delicate etch is what gives you such detail.

Yet, delicate as it is, your etching is still permanent. Clean it, polish it as much as you like. We guarantee you will never get it to fade or wear away.

Display your etching in your home wherever it will make the most impact. Gaze at the delicately contrasting shades this process brings to it. Enjoy a feeling of realism beyond anything you ever expected from etched glass.

Do you do these etchings by hand or by machine?

A special accent for your home should be more than just something spit out of a machine. And with us, it is.

Skilled artisans etch each piece individually; no etching is done by machine. Yet every etching of the artwork you choose is identical. Your etching will look exactly like what you see on the website.

What does all this mean for you? Etching each piece individually means that human eyes inspect your etching at least five times throughout the process of etching, assembly, and shipping. That ensures that you receive only the best.

How long will my etching last?

Go ahead and polish your mirror as much as you want. Your etching will never fade or wear off. We will gladly replace any etching that fails to live up to this guarantee.

Contact us toll-free at 1-800-215-9441 or by email at any time to replace a defective glass. Note: this lifetime guarantee does not apply to broken glass except within the first 10 days after shipment as below.

Will my mirror reflect like a normal mirror?

Your mirror will sparkle as bright as any mirror you've ever seen. Our pictures show them reflecting a plain gray background to give you the clearest possible view of the design.

But hang your mirror on your wall and whatever is gray in the pictures will reflect whatever background is around it, just like any other mirror. Whatever is lighter colored in the pictures is etched and does not reflect.

What materials do you use for frames?

Our frames are crafted in the USA with the highest quality materials. MIrror frames are 100% solid hardwood.

We use:

• The top-quality hardwoods you find in fine, hand-crafted furniture
• No plastic
• No resin
• No "reconstituted wood products" (a polite name for a sawdust and glue mixture that is moulded and painted to look like real wood)

How is the wood finished?

Run your hand over the surface of the wood and feel the silky smoothness of its hand-rubbed, double lacquer finish. You'll enjoy the same feel of permanence and quality you would get from fine furniture that you buy from the biggest name furniture manufacturers.
