A wonderfull mirror! Great. Also, those pictures of the making of this thing on your site are most interesting.

Devo dire: bellissimo :!:
What is the thickness of the mirror in mm?
Would it be possible to make it out of bronze sheet and put in the decoration? Just curious
What bronze did you use?

What bronze did you use?
The thickness is 3.5 mm at the edge, and 2.8 mm in the plate.
Certainly you can do the metal forging of bronze and after affect the decoration
The composition: 4% tin and 1% lead, and copper obviously
