Brights of Nettlebed have a particular affinity with antique mirrors: Our patrimony stems from Biggs of Maidenhead (F&MStamp) Est.1865, an antique dealership run by our family, contributors to the publication Queen Anne & Georgian Looking Glasses, by F. Lewis Hinkley. Many of the antique mirrors which passed through Biggs' are now in the Brights photographic archive, inspiring the designs hand carved in mahogany available to purchase today.
