Vintage Wall Mirrors Collection

Mirrors… Αre they objects that we simply use in our everyday life or objects that have hidden secret powers, as they used to believe in the West? What is the story with mirrors anyway?

Back then

For centuries mirrors were considered to be items of luxury. They were made from materials such as brass. After the 3rd century BC, mirrors started being made from glass and years later they started having a variety of shapes and sizes (ex. oval mirrors). During the Dark Ages, mirrors were supposed to be evil objects and women who used mirrors were often considered to be witches by the church. Furthermore, it is known that until recently when someone died, the rest of the family members had to cover all the mirrors that were in the house, with a sheet. Especially the large wall mirror, that usually, stood in the living room. So, it is understood through history why mirrors played an important role even in fairy tales!

These days

Today, almost everyone buys mirrors and even large wall mirrors for their place. Hotels, cafés, beauty shops use all kinds of mirrors for decoration. Nowadays, all mirrors, even handcrafted rectangular wall mirrors, are much cheaper and anyone can afford buying them. So, every house or apartment has mirrors, for two reasons. The first one refers to smaller mirrors that people use in order to make their everyday life easier. The second reason is the one that refers mostly to a wall mirror and it has to do with the decoration of the place. If the frame is nice and the wall mirror is placed at the right spot of the house then the results are great. The room looks bigger, the wall mirror itself can be impressive and of course the reflection of the light from the sun makes the room brighter. It is, also, common that, many people buy a small wall mirror with a magnified glass, for the bathroom, in order to be able to see every detail of their face.

Feng Shui’s philosophy

Nevertheless, according to Feng Shui, a wall mirror should not be put in the bed room. If that is not possible for some reason, then Feng Shui’s philosophy suggests not to place the wall mirror somewhere that we can see our bodies when we lie down to sleep, because when we sleep our soul raises and if the first thing it meets is the reflection of us through a whole wall mirror, then it will get scared and we will not be able to sleep well. So, according to Feng Shui putting a wall mirror in the bedroom is not a good idea.

Well, the fact is that there are many stories, myths, philosophies and opinions about mirrors and most particularly about wall mirrors. It depends on every person’s character what to believe, what to do or how to use these objects.
