Mid Century Modern Mirrors

The midcentury period produced some of the most iconic mirror designs in history.

With newfound access to mirrored glass and a wealth of framing materials to experiment with, the midcentury modern designers created an endless amount of amazing mirrors.

Today, you don’t have to look very far to find a great, midcentury-inspired mirror.

Check out our guide to see some of them below.

Types of MidCentury Mirrors

Below are some of the styles of mirror popular during the Midcentury Era. Please remember that we build custom mirrors, so if there is a mirror or style you like, please send me an email. I also help with sourcing vintage pieces, so likewise if you are looking to source a vintage mirror, need advice on pricing, or something else related to the process, let me know – design@mirrorcoop.com

Sunburst Mirror

Sunburst Mirror is the classic midcentury modern style. It can be made in a variety of shapes and materials, but the general idea is like the mirror above.

Geometric Mirror

Another classic look is the geometric mirror (here shown as an octagon). The example has an aged brass frame, but those details — number of sides and frame type — are all customizable.

Fish Eye Mirrors

The convex mirror has been around since the 1600s and is now used in both interiors and often as a security precaution. I love the look of these mirrors, but they are hard to find. This is also called the Fish Eye style.

Teak Mirrors

Teak is one of the woods most associated with the midcentury era. It has a beautiful warm color and attractive grain pattern, making it great for making frames.

Asymmetrical Mirrors

Asymmetrical mirrors are also a very common Mid Century look. This style of mirror is also sometimes called Italian Mirrors.

Brass Framed Mirrors

Brass framed mirrors are another staple of the Mid-Century era. They were first popularized in Europe in the 1950s but continue to look great, even today. Many inexpensive pieces floating around if you are interested.

Where Can I Buy Vintage Mid Century Mirrors?

I always recommend 1st Dibs for those looking for vintage pieces.
They have great customer support and a detailed review system for vetting their sellers.
If you plan on buying something expensive, I think this is the best route.
Otherwise, Pomona, eBay, and also Facebook market place are all great if you are a little more adventurous.
Please remember I also work in sourcing, so if you want help sourcing a piece (or finding a list of options) just send me an email at
design@mirrorcoop.com.
