Mission/Arts & Crafts Dresser Mirror

I am looking for a mirror for a Stickley dresser. I saw the type I
want some time ago, but not lately. The style I want has some detail
like grating in it--kind of a delicate detail. I thought I had gotten
some pictures of the type I was looking for, but I guess I was
dreaming that I did. Can anyone point me to a web site or web sites
that have some pictures of some real nice unusual Arts & crafts
dresser mirrors? I have been downloading some I have been seeing here
and there, but nothing that has a real spectacular look to it. All I
have seen have been kind of boring.

Thanks to both of you. I think I was just a little stuck. The
additional key words should help. The web site has a couple of very
nice designs and the great buildings web site I have seen before, but
have lost track of. That site is interesting for many more reasons
than my mirror request.

Wow, that's some really nice stuff. The first pic, the Grueby vase,
is stunning, and the Stickley/Ellis servers are great. The $60,000
bookcase threw me, though. <thud>

For less than 20 bucks you can get two volumes of Stickley catalogs from
Amazon.

In addition to "Arts and Crafts" you might try searching on "Prairie School"
or "Prairie Style". If you're talking about detail in the mirror itself
there's an expensive book "Light Screens: The Complete Leaded Glass
Windows of Frank Lloyd Wright" that should give you plenty of ideas.
