MIRRORED FURNITURE DISTRESSED MIRROR TILES BAR MIRRORS

Florentine antique style distressed mirror is made by chemically boiling down
silver bullion to obtain silver nitrate.
The silver nitrate is then added to a secret formular containing other precious metals.
Other reagent chemicals are also added to facilitate the reducing process.
The silvering mixture can then be either sprayed on to the surface of the especially prepared
glass surface, it can also be poured on by utilising the surface tension of the glass.
Genuine Florentine distressed mirror can have an almost hypnotic effect on the observer.
Many people have commented on its ability to repeatedly hold their gaze.
Silver reflects about 95% of the light photons that enter the silver atom, they momentarily
enter the orbit of the electrons and is quickly expelled, entering your retina titillating the neurons
In your skull.
Great armies of the world were paid with silver coins, slaves have been purchased and sold for the metal, vampires subdued, and biblical characters tempted and betrayed by silvers charm.

What is distressed mirror?

Distressed mirror is silvered glass than has been  manipulated by use of  a chemical reaction to produce abstract mirror designs on glass.
Distressed mirror/ Fauxed mirror/ Antique mirror are the most common names to describe this technique.
There are 3 x methods to distress a mirror.

1 :  By chemically corroding an all ready silvered mirror.
This is done by stripping the paint to expose the silver then adding a corrosive liquid like  Ammonia or  Chlorine to the silvered side.
This method is commonly used by the experimenter or hobbyist, the result is usually disappointing.

2 : The second method is to place an inhibiting substance to the glass before the normal silvering process takes place, this may include Calcium Carbonate  - Urea - Stannous Chloride - Zinc Oxide.
The silver will not be able to adhere to the glass normally and will leave varying degrees of grayish
dark patches - spots - clouds and streaking on the mirror.
This method is favoured by companies that manufacture bulk commercially distressed mirrors on   the silvering line.
The down side to this method is that it can give an unimpressive mono carpet like appearance.

3 :  The third method for distressing mirrors called Florentine mirror the method used by 
The Manhattan Mirror Co  Melbourne is to carefully manipulate metallic chemicals into the silver during the silvering process.
Trace elements of cobalt - copper - gold - tin etc can be extracted and formed on the glass as the silver is reduced from silver nitrate to pure silver.

There are only a handful of Artisans currently in Australia performing this type of work.
Florentine distressed mirror can be used on glass dining tables - coffee tables - feature mirror walls - splashbacks - bathroom wall and floor tiles and outdoor mirrors.
A variety of edge work is available from the Manhattan Mirror Co and includes flat polished edges - bevelled edges – or the very smart Triple C edges   as per sample.
