Where can I get a Mirror Re-Silvered? archived

I can't help you with re-silvering suggestions but we replaced the mirror which was in a wood frame that goes with a bedroom dresser at the Mirror place right where Valley Street runs into Springfield. I'm sure someone has the name. I should know, since I probably pass it everyday.

This is why I don't think you really want to re-silver a medicine cabinet mirror - you probably want to replace the mirror:

Before sending your mirror to the professionals, there are several points to consider. Resilvering is expensive, so it may not be worthwhile having your mirror repaired. Most household mirrors are rectangular or square and it is much cheaper to replace them than to have them resilvered. In comparison, it may be cheaper to resilver uniquely shaped mirrors, or those with beveled edges, than it is to have new glass cut.

Resilvering is commonly used for antique mirrors. These are often made from glass that has imperfections, such as air bubbles, small ripples or uneven beveling. The glass itself is antique and can make the mirror valuable. Usually, an antique mirror is not devalued by the resilvering process, because the glass is not changed. In fact, resilvering can add to the value of an antique mirrors. However, it is worth checking first as some important antiques are more valuable if left untouched.

Good luck

Thanks for the note. This mirror isn't square and might be hard to produce from scratch so I think resilvering would be the best bet if I can find a place that's affordable.

Try Orange Valley Glass in West Orange.

We had some antique mirrors resilvered at the Summit Glass Showcase on Springfield Ave. in Summit years ago. They're still in the same location, so they may still do it.
