Meestal zijn er twee hoofdtypen: spiegels die horizontaal hangen en meestal bestaan uit drie, soms uit vier glazen, waarvan de middelste zo'n twee keer zo breed is als de buitenste twee, en spiegels die verticaal hangen, meestal met een enkel vierkant of rechthoekig glas, soms met een schilderij binnenin de omlijsting, boven het bovenste gedeelte van de spiegel. Eventueel kunnen er kaarsenhouders aan zijn bevestigd. |
