9. Ornate Gilded Vanity Mirrors
No Victorian bathroom is complete without the dramatic flair of an ornate, gilded vanity mirror. Look for heavy, antique frames adorned with intricate scrollwork, cherubs, floral garlands, or rococo-style flourishes. The gold leaf finish, whether brightly polished or gently aged with a dark, dusty patina, catches the light beautifully and reflects the warmth of your light fixtures. Hanging a large, vertically oriented gilded mirror above your washstand not only serves a practical purpose but also visually expands the space, bouncing light around the room and adding a touch of palace-like grandeur to your daily morning routine.
