Take a few minutes to read through this brief but helpful article and you will be glad you did.

You can either use silver and gelatin or even an aluminum leaf. I know that most chemical kits cost something like $90 for 300 square feet but you can just use the latter on glass at a smaller fee than most| however, you can also just use the aluminum leaf because it is cheaper.

Most people have complained about the effectiveness of using this method especially due to the fact that it is not easy to remove the grey paint on the back of most new mirrors.

Antique Mirror Patina  is another option you can consider for this project, which is a water based alkaline solution, a water based solution made from alkaline and and mimics the blemish and aged look of antique mirrors. You can do it on your own at $80 or so i.e. about $2 per square feet.

Of course there are many other options you can use to turn your best decorative mirror or any type you may have into an antique. However, what I have shared above can help you start out the process.
