Venetian Mirrors

Anybody who has visited Venice will have almost immediately notice the areas love, and passion for all things glass & mirrors and it’s no surprise to learn that the Venetian Style of Mirror was created on the small Venetian island of Murano back in the 14th century! Across the next couple of centuries, Venetian Mirrors became coveted around the world with both British & French Kings (including Henry VIII) boasting large collections. In the UK, it wasn't until that 17th century that mirrors began to be made in England, before then - all of the mirrors in the UK in any stately home or palace, were from Venice.
