Your Decorative reflector is an important item in your house. Not only that it is a functional illuminating object, it also serves as a decoration in the room where you put it. As a reflecting object, your Decorative reflector is your unbiased critic, reflecting an unadulterated image of yourself, telling you what needs to be done or if everything is okay-your perfect tool for personal grooming. Furthermore, it illuminates the room by reflecting either (or both) natural and electric light and creates an illusion of additional space to the room. As a decoration, the varying rustic or highly intrinsic design of a reflector is an artwork in itself that graces a room where it is placed. The modern illuminating object commonly has a simple design and yet it is beautiful enough to be an ornament of the room. However, if you want a reflecting object that really is an artwork almost by definition, and (definitely) by age, then antique mirrors is for you.
