Mirror Mirror On The Wall

Posted by on

Whether it be convex, federal, portholes, or eagle mirrors, circular mirrors are traditional, classic and chic accessories for the home. Did you know that some of the more traditional federal convex mirrors have thirteen balls surrounding them representing the original states of the union? There are some great options on Etsy, Ebay, and  West Elm in case you’re in the market for one!

    There are some places with the same kind of mirror, circle with bird at the top. What is it called? where do you get them? its beautiful

    These are awesome! My parents have had a mirror like this hanging in the living room for as long as I can remember, but I never knew that there was a specific name for it. I love that the 13 balls stand for the original 13 states… so subtly patriotic!

    Great post, Lauren. I’ve never really paid attention to mirrors since they’re more functional in my eyes. What would you say to someone looking to get a mirror for a living room as a centerpiece of sorts? I wanted to get one but I wouldn’t want it to overpower the room.
