Drawing
First of all, they draw on paper the mirror's shape in its actual measure; they study its frame and its embellishment as well as study its light in the mirror (like how many little mirrors compose the whole one). Finally,they study all the drawings they have to engrave and the colors of the Murano glass decorations to be installed.
Wood Structure Frame
The carpenter cuts the perfect shape for the Venetian mirror using a multi layer of Cirmolo's wood. This process is all handmade and the shape can be much different from model to model design (the wooden frame, in their last collection, may even contain a true TV color to be shown in the middle of the Venetian mirror when the power is on.)
Glass Engraving
This is surely the most creative and artistic step. The glass sheet is engraved and decorated with beautiful flowers and leaves, mythological scenes or medieval ones or with loads of different subjects. Even during this phase,their engravers can custom the perfect representation for you.
Mirror Making with Pure Silver on the Flat Glass
With the maximum attention, silver is poured on the glass sheet. During this phase, there's the choice of the mirror color; it can be in pure silver or with shades of amber or black color. On request, the mirror can also be aged with a specific chemical process to create an effect of traditional ancient style.

Mirror's Laying on the Mirror's Frame
Depending on the final result the artisans want to obtain, the frame in wood is covered by a silver or golden layer. After the positioning of different little mirrors, the whole mirror is cut in a specific shape and fixed on the frame with nails covered with a glass cap.
Embellishment Installation of Murano Glass
During this phase, the different Murano glass embellishments are fixed on the mirror. Usually, these parts are made through hot modeling and they are usually flowers and leaves of different sizes and colors, in clear class or paste color and sometimes matched with 24kt gold or pure silver.
