How to recognize an old mirror

Old mirror glass is slightly gray and sometimes shows small dark spots around the edges, known as patina. Many buyers specifically look for this. On other pieces, the glass has been replaced while the frame is old. The description states which applies. We check frames for secure joints and safe hanging.
