You can choose to use either a gelatin or silver. For something cheaper you can go for aluminum leaf. Generally speaking you can spend about $90 for a 300 square feet chemical kit 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 because of some difficulty removing the grey paint on the back of a new mirror and under that is silver and copper plating.
You can also try to use Antique Mirror Patina, which is an alkaline solution that is water based and makes it look old and tarnished even when its new. To cover a square feet you may have to spend something like $2, which could add up to about $80 for a standard mirror.
These are not the only options you can choose when trying to turn your decorative wall mirrors or any type you may have into an antique. I am confident that what I have shared above is enough to get you going.

The New Gilded Age (Paperback)
$38.83
Income inequality is an increasingly pressing issue in the United States and around the world. This book explores five critical issues to introduce some of the key moral and empirical questions about income, gender, and racial inequality: ? Do we have a moral obligation to eliminate poverty? ? Is inequality a necessary evil that`s the best way available to motivate economic action and increase total output? ? Can we retain a meaningful democracy even when extreme inequality allows the rich to purchase political privilege? ? Is the recent stalling out of long-term declines in gender inequality a historic reversal that presages a new gender order? ? How are racial and ethnic inequalities likely to evolve as minority populations grow ever larger, as intermarriage increases, and as new forms of immigration unfold? Leading public intellectuals debate these questions in a no-holds-barred exploration of our New Gilded Age.
The Naked Corporation: How The Age Of Transparency Will Revolutionize Business
$17.19
If you have to be naked, you had better be buff. We are entering an extraordinary age of transparency, where businesses must for the first time make themselves clearly visible to shareholders, customers, employees, partners, and society. Financial data, employee grievances, internal memos, environmental disasters, product weaknesses, international protests, scandals and policies, good news and bad; all can be seen by anyone who knows where to look. Welcome to the world of the naked corporation. Transparency is revolutionizing every aspect of our economy and its industries and forcing firms to rethink their fundamental values. Don Tapscott, bestselling author and one of the most sought after strategists and speakers in the business world, is famous for seeing into the future and pointing out both its forest and its trees. David Ticoll, visionary researcher, columnist, and consultant, has identified countless breakthrough trends at the intersection of technology and business strategy. These two longtime collaborators now offer a brilliant guide to the new age of openness. In The Naked Corporation, they explain how the new transparency has caused a power shift toward customers, employees, shareholders, and other stakeholders; how and where information has exploded; and how corporations across many industries have seized on transparency not as a challenge but as an opportunity. Drawing on such examples as Chiquita's total turnaround on matters of ethics, to Shell Oil's reinvention of itself as an environmentally focused business, to Johnson & Johnson's longstanding and carefully nurtured reputation as a company worthy of trust -- as well as little-known examples from pharmaceuticals, insurance, high technology, and financial services -- Tapscott and Ticoll offer invaluable advice on how to lead the new age, rather than simply react to it. The Naked Corporation is a book for managers, employees, investors, customers, and anyone who cares about the future of the corporation and society. A new age is upon us, and you can either work with it and thrive, or fight it and die.
