i think it is really old, over 100 yrs? don't think has a beveled edge can't tell as covered by the frame. the mirror is very broken down, it has a haze to it so i can't see a very clear reflection. it is beautiful but i am worried that it might be dangerous to have it as it is in a room?

« on: November 03, 2011, 03:24:57 pm »

i have a beautiful large carved antique mirror, there is no back on it and i have noticed that the mercury is coming off the back of the mirror into small balls. i know mercury is dangerous, should i get a new mirror for the frame, or can i get a back put on the mirror or a coating? need some advice please.
