Our house is a 1930s English Tudor with all the original woodwork — arched doorways, leaded glass windows, dark oak floors. The bathrooms had been remodeled in the 90s and lost all the character. I have been slowly bringing them back, and the mirror was the last piece. This Keonjinn 22 by 30 brushed nickel beveled rectangle mirror was the right finish and the right scale for the space.
Brushed nickel is the heritage finish. Polished chrome would have felt too modern, brass would have felt too shiny. Brushed nickel has that soft, aged look that matches the original hardware on the doors. The beveled edge of the glass gives it that old-world, almost-leaded-glass feel without being kitschy. I hung it above my pedestal sink, paired it with a brushed nickel faucet and a small ceramic tray holding a vintage-style soap dish.
The bathroom now feels like it could have been here since the house was built. The mirror ties into the original hardware throughout the hallway, so the whole house feels cohesive. My neighbor, who is restoring her own Tudor, came over and asked for the link. The 4.6 star rating is accurate — the brushed nickel finish is even, the bevel is clean, and the mirror is well-built. If you are restoring an older home, this mirror will not fight with the original character.
