Silver mirror frame, a drawing by Charles Lebrun (Image found on Google)
Undoubtedly, the first mirrors must have been puddles and rivers. The most ancient model invented by men, though, is eight thousand years old and was found in Turkey. It is made of obsidian, a stone that resembles glass.
Other people used metal plates to make mirrors. The first models using glass were created by the Romans. The one that resembles the most our current models - made with a plain glass lamina covered by a methalic mixture - was made in Venice, in the 15th century.
