Antique mirror glass creates a very attractive feature in kitchens and bathrooms. Typically splashbacks are toughened, particularly if positioned right next to a heat source. Aesthetically it works well with both traditional and contemporary kitchens for splashbacks, and its ability to hide splash-marks helps on a practical level too.
We offer a wide variety of Antique Mirror. From bespoke hand finished styles to ready-made antique mirror glass sheets, ready to be cut, shaped, polished and fitted. Our handmade styles are silvered and hand distressed in our workshop, allowing full control over the intensity of antiquing. Concentrated or darkened perimiter edges can be applied if required and these styles can be made in any colour scheme.
Please find below answers to common questions about antique mirror glass, installations and lead times that we are regularly asked. Yes, Saligo Design offers 4 styles that can be toughened, namely; Vintage, Mottled, Mercury and Speckled. All other styles in our range cannot be toughened.
Toughening involves a process of intense heat treatment and as such any ready-made mirror or antique mirror panel undergoing toughening would result in the silver being burnt off.However, At Saligo Design we can toughen already cut glass panels and then after the toughening process is complete then we silver these panels creating a perfect mirror for our fine artist to distress.

One of the most dramatic approaches to the use of antique mirror glass is to clad an entire wall with it. This can generate an almost sculptural effect in terms of altering and manipulating the quality of space. Variations in the way that the panels of mirror are organised and the degree to which they are antiqued offer a huge range of possibilities to explore.
We offer a full installation service with the supply of antiqued mirror (as well as a supply-only option). I have just had my chimney breast cladded with original vintage distressed mirrors, and it looks fantastic, a true show stopper. I'm so pleased with the result. There doesn't appear to be anything else on the market that can rival the vintage style it truly is a piece of art and speaks for itself, thank you Saligo.

I had a glass installed behind my aga in June 2019 and I loved it. Less than 12 months after the instillation, in April 2020 the glass smashed into a million pieces during the night. I contacted Saligo straight away as I was assured that this type of glass should never break from the heat of the aga, especially as I paid them extra to come measure and fit, to be extra sure it was all done correctly. Understandably, the break happened during the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, so I have been very patient in waiting for this to be fixed. I agreed with them to pay again for a new glass (even thought

Fantastic job done of my kitchen splashback. Matt was very patient with all the questions and gave honest advise when making a selection - no hard sell.
Measurement & fitting extremely professional - a superb job for a superb quality item. They went the extra mile to get things sorted in spite of the Covid challenges thrown at them.
Results are stunning - and now eyeing up other rooms where I can incorporate. Definitely recommend.
Thanks Matt, Peter & Nick !

We are so glad to have found Matt and his team whilst looking for a glass splash back for our new kitchen. Matt really knows his stuff and was extremely patient, giving us full and frank advice/pricing. We chose the hand silvered finish as we really wanted a heavily distressed look. The process does take time and it’s not cheap but we wanted a hand finished look. The results are fantastic and we’re super thrilled with the final finish. Thanks Matt and the team for giving us such a beautiful and unique finish to our kitchen! 💜

From our very first conversation through to the survey and now the delivery and installation of this most beautiful mirror, I have been hugely impressed with Saligo Design. Their communication (Matt in particular) has been wonderful throughout.
The mirror is quite simply breathtaking - my 'Ta Dah' moment. I would recommend Saligo Design in a heartbeat and indeed I have already, several times! Thank you

Very Friendly, professional and efficient....
from an initial enquiry to a visit to the workshop to see actual samples, nothing was too much trouble for Greg , Matt and the team.
My order was processed and completed ahead of time and was much much better than I could have imagined.
My one of a kind Vintage mirrored panel finishes of my kitchen perfectly and creates a welcoming and unique feature.
Their passion for the workmanship clearly shows in the finished product.
I would certainly recommend Saligo Design and would not hesitate to use them again.
