There’s no catalogue price for a custom wrought iron mirror, because that’s precisely what sets it apart from a shop mirror: each piece combines glass cut to your exact size and a forged frame built for that exact dimension. The final price therefore adds up two distinct components — the glass, and the frame.
The two cost components
Custom-cut mirror glass typically costs between €40 and €800/m² supplied, depending on thickness and especially finish: standard clear glass sits at the low end of this range, tinted, antique or safety-laminated glass considerably higher. Installation alone (excluding supply) often adds €75 to €220 depending on complexity.
Raw wrought iron trades at roughly €5 to €8/kg of material. For a decorative piece comparable in scale to a mirror frame (not a railing or a full staircase balustrade), observed wrought-ironwork rates range from €200 to several thousand euros depending on complexity — simple bars at the low end, worked scrollwork at the high end.
Price benchmarks by size (estimate)
Why catalogue prices aren’t comparable
A “wrought iron” mirror sold at a fixed price in a shop or online isn’t made to measure: it’s a run of standard sizes, produced in volume, usually with a frame that’s moulded or factory-assembled rather than forged piece by piece. Comparing its price to a custom mirror is like comparing flat-pack furniture to a piece made by a cabinetmaker — both answer different needs, not the same budget.
What drives the price
Both the glass and the frame are largely priced by area or length of material — a large format mechanically costs more than a reduced one.
Standard clear glass stays the most affordable; tinted, antique or safety-laminated glass noticeably increases the price per square metre.
Simple straight bars cost less to shape than a frame with scrollwork or worked motifs, which takes more workshop time.

Frequently asked questions
Is the quote free?
Yes, describing your project and receiving one or more quotes is free and carries no obligation.
Why aren’t the prices above more precise?
Because no published market rate covers a “wrought iron mirror” as a finished product — the benchmarks above combine two real but separate market prices (glass and ironwork). Only an on-site survey gives a firm figure.
Does a large format always cost more than double a small mirror?
Not necessarily in a straight line — glass broadly follows surface area, but some frame costs (shaping time, finishing) don’t scale at exactly the same rate as size. Only a real quote can confirm this for your project.
