Our Product Story
The history of mirrors dates back to ancient times when mankind first saw reflections in a pond or river and considered it magic. Mirrors have a long history of use both as household objects and as objects of decoration. The earliest mirrors were hand mirrors; those large enough to reflect the whole body did not appear until the 1st century AD. From the late 17th century onward, mirrors—and their frames—played and increasingly important part in the decorations of rooms.
Wrought iron was originally used for decorative or practical purposes - as nails and hinges, as well as fanciful iron railings and fences - rather than as a structural element, until the late 18th century. Initial structural use of iron was primarily for bridges.
From the earliest days of Greek and Roman mythology, the blacksmith was held in high esteem as magical characters (as the gods Hephaestus and Vulcan) who had special powers to control and work the hardest and most useful metal then known.
Since WWII, the popularity of wrought iron has been once again growing. In addition to architectural elements, wrought iron is currently used in furniture and home accessories, jewelry and fine art.
