I am redoing a 1930 bedroom set, and the dresser/ vanity's mirror is good except around the edges, is there a product I can get to either hide it or restore it, I can't take the mirror off of the wood that the mirror is on, its glue, thank you.

Frame it! Check out the architectual fixture department at Home Depot for a lovely crown molding reproduction piece ( lightweight and inexpensive) finish it to mix or match the rest of your set.

thanks, that's a good idea. The mirror is beveled and curvy.

Wondered if that was the case. I salvaged a mirror from a bathroom cabinet in a 1930's tear down. It had that chippy hazy thing going on around a couple of edges but it fit my quirky style so just left it as it was. Love those beveled edges seems a shame to cover them up. Too bad it is glued down 'cuz the old finish can be removed for repainting.

How about tacking some artificial ivy or decorative ribbon around the entire mirror or just where the mirror is damaged it would really help if you can send us a picture.They sell these little glue dots at the dollar tree,they would work great,and would be easily removed if you want to do something else.Or,you could edge the mirror with pennies,poker chips,postcards and glue dots.
