Hall of Mirrors
-- Home Accents Today, 2/1/2008
This season, fashion-forward mirrors rival museum-worthy designs yet with a distinctly modern bent. Trend-right accents like snake, shells and mixed metals up the style savvy of these looking glasses, extending far beyond mere reflection. — Tracy Bulla

Part of the Hayes Parker Collection from Currey & Company, the Abalone Urchin mirror reflects a natural iridescence in this fantasy-laden design ($1,000).

Hand-finished with 22K gold, Festoni reinvents the traditional sunburst design with a modern artisanal spirit by virtue of asymmetrical rays ($850).

A snakeskin-style finish adds subtle sex appeal to Kichler's Mirada oval mirror, featuring alternating panels of aged black and ivory ($200).

Silver nickel surrounds walnut veneer in Majestic Mirror's streamlined, transitional design, resulting in cleanly elegant versatility ($275).

The classic quatrefoil motif provides the inspiration for Emerson et Cie's silver leaf-finished mirror, which can be hung horizontally or vertically ($542).

Miniature tiles of brass, copper and steel create a contemporary mosaic frame to Nova's striking square design ($300).
