Charleston Mirror™

Command Attention with the Luminous Charleston Mirror™ Collection

Light dictates the success of high-end architecture. It determines how a room breathes; it influences how the colors shift from dawn to dusk. When you want to change the way an interior interacts with its surroundings, standard materials often fall flat. They are static. They are silent. However, the Charleston Mirror™ collection is a masterclass in metallurgy and chemistry, offering a curated selection of metallic, tarnished, and hand-silvered glass.

Each mirrored tile in this collection represents the pinnacle of artisan skill. These aren't mass-produced items; they are painstakingly created piece-by-piece using a classic antiquing process. For the visionary who appreciates the intersection of traditional techniques and modern luxury, this collection is an ideal complement to the most ambitious designs. It gives you an opportunity to define a space not just by its walls, but by its brilliance.

Garden District: An Award-Winning Study in Metallic Movement

Think about the way light dances across moving water. That kinetic energy is captured in our Garden District Mirror Metallic Tile. As a winner of Interior Design’s Best of Year, this selection has long been a benchmark for innovation. The lush, golden-hued iridescence expands the boundaries of the Charleston Mirror™ collection, creating a look that is bold yet deeply refined.

The secret lies in the process; stringers of hot glass are artfully poured along the face of the tile. As light grazes this iridized gloss, the colors shift, hitting every tone in the spectrum. Because each tile is handmade in the USA and mirror-backed, it creates movement and depth in any installation. You can go for this mirrored glass tile when you want to create a wall that looks more like a bespoke installation than a simple covering. It will put a level of detail into your home that won't forget to impress.

The Alchemy of the Carolinas: Where Art Meets Acid

The Carolina Mirror Tarnished Tile is a masterclass in controlled chaos. Echoing the swirling colors of an Impressionist painting, it shimmers in tones of blue, green, and violet. Each composition is unique, forged by a mesmerizing alchemy of hand-silvered mirror and acid etching. This particular look is an ideal complement to the natural stone colors often found in high-end kitchens and baths.

If you want to use it on a space that requires a bit more texture, the Gaslight Mirror Hand Silvered Tile is a gorgeous addition. By adding a rippled texture to antiqued mirror, Gaslight introduces a new level of class. It adds a bit of edge to the space while maintaining a smoky, shimmering quality. It’s also elemental enough that it won’t look out of place in a decade. Instead, it becomes a sophisticated neutral that pulls together the rest of the architectural details.

Veranda: The Soul of a Time-Worn Masterpiece

An authentic recreation of time-worn leaded glass, Veranda is another stunning member of the Charleston Mirror™ collection. It is hand-antiqued and purposely irregular, inviting the eye with a sensuous quality. For the homeowner who appreciates a space that feels a bit more lived-in, Veranda adds timeless charm and texture without feeling forced.

Using this glass tile mirror for an antique mirrored tile backsplash can certainly improve the way that the kitchen feels. You can easily get creative with how high the installation goes, perhaps all the way to the ceiling to draw the eye from the floor up. This way, the tile functions both as a backsplash and a primary design element that defines this space. It is also a great choice for livening up darker corners, causing the space to appear much larger than its footprint suggests.

Crafting an Interior That Reflects Your Vision

Beyond the kitchen, charleston mirror and glass tiles are the perfect spot to use on feature walls in dining rooms or foyers. You understand how to curate an environment, and that tile provides the versatility to do so. There are so many different ways to create interest by combining different textures from the collection. You could even use the Charleston Mirror™ hand-silvered tiles to accentuate this as well, creating a high-contrast installation that ties into the broader theme of your home.

Keep in mind that these glass mirrored tiles are handmade using traditional techniques by skilled artists. This means they are not just materials; they are legacies. Whatever works best for you, the result will have a new look and feel that is definitely a bold move. It is about the symmetry and movement of the glass, providing a lively pop of interest without being overwhelming.
