Interesting Facts
Mirrored furniture and accessories gained immense popularity during the Art Deco movement of the 1920s and saw a major revival in contemporary interior design for their ability to brighten dark spaces and create optical illusions of larger rooms.

Clean mirrored surfaces using a soft microfiber cloth and a mild ammonia-free glass cleaner sprayed onto the cloth rather than directly onto the mirror to prevent moisture seepage into the backing. Avoid harsh impacts to the glass corners.
