Antique Glass Splashbacks
Hand-finished antique mirror — patina, warmth and old-world character for modern kitchens.
Finish profile
Aged mirror character with modern safety performance
Antique glass gives a deliberately softened, distressed reflection rather than a perfect mirror. The mottled patina hides everyday marks better than a pristine mirror and brings depth to shaker kitchens, period homes, bars and hospitality interiors.
