The 18th century was a period of great transformation for the mirror industry in Europe. Manufacturing techniques improved, and designs became more elaborate, particularly with the introduction of new frame styles. At the beginning of the 18th century, mirrors were primarily manufactured in France, Italy, and England. French mirrors were considered the most prestigious and were often made from imported Venetian glass. In the 18th century, the mirror was seen as a symbol of wealth and prestige, and it was often used to reflect light in grand reception rooms and royal chambers. The demand for elaborate and well-designed mirrors was therefore very high, leading to the emergence of a thriving industry throughout Europe.
