Vintage mirror wall / Conceal doors

[atlasfever]

Hello,

I have a hallway that i would like to make 'appear' wider with the use of mirror. However, I would like to use some sort of aged, or vintage mirror to do so, and afix it to the whole wall. This refers to the only non-orginal wall partition in my flat (georgian, 1st floor), which has two doors that I want to conceal. So, effectively, I want to mirror the entire wall, with mirror panels, and the two doors would be concealed within (with discrete door handles).

Has anyone come across either a suitable mirror or a specialist who could be hired? I was thinking of aged mirror (with those rust marks), and bevelled edges. This does seem very bespoke, but I thought if I could find someone who knows how to do this, it would be worth the investment.

Thanks!

An aged mirror might look good in its own right but, if the intention is to create an illusion of more space, I wonder if a blemish-free mirror might not be better? If the mirror itself is the feature then the illusion may not be as effective. Just idle musings though.

These people seem to offer something http://www.rougholdglass.co.uk/medlar-restaurant although I would also add that just because something can be done doesn't mean that it should..... ( we used to have 2 mirrored walls... We don't any more )

PS, I just had a look at their price list and they sell holes, £5 each, probably cheaper to buy a bagel and ask if they can recycle that hole :lol: :lol: :lol:
