Mirror, Mirror on the Wall….
Reflections in pools of dark, still water in streams and rivers were the first documented use of “mirrors”. The earliest man-made mirrors date back to 6000BC and consisted of polished stone. In 1 A.D, the Romans produced glass mirrors. The first modern “silver” glass mirror was created by a German chemist in 1835.
Today, in the 21st century, there isn’t a person who can imagine a home without a mirror. In fact, mirrors are just about everywhere; bathrooms, hotels, stores, restaurants, purses, cars, salons, office buildings and even in elevators! Once known as the “looking glass”, the mirror is a constant, a necessity, a tool used to see ourselves as well as an implement used for decorative and architectural purposes.
