We want a Venetian mirror. Whats the difference between a Venetian constructed with screws and a Venetian with glass thats glued on?
The hallmark of a well-made Venetian is screwed construction. That means each piece of glass is hand-etched, beveled and attached to the wood backing with a tiny screw, which are then covered by a clear rosette cover. The wood backing of any Venetian expands and contracts with charges in humidity levels in your home. If glass is glued to wood, it can develop stress cracks or pop off. Screwed construction also makes repairs easy–if a piece is damaged, just unscrew it, trace the outline, and fax the tracing to us at 516-767-7126. We’ll have a new piece re-cut for you.
