Help me find a mantel mirror please

I'm looking for a mantelpiece mirror for our new home. It's Edwardian and still has all its period features, so I'd like something traditional. I like the style of the attached from Anthropologie, but not so much the price tag. Can anyone help me source a cheaper one?

Just came along to add in my 3p worth, though you may already be aware of all this.
Years ago, we sent for a lovely overmantel mirror for above our original Edwardian fireplace.
When it arrived and we put it up, it looked awful, because we had no clue about getting the dimensions right.
www.overmantels.co.uk have a section on how to select the right size for your particular location.
We just measured the width of the mantel and never gave anything else a thought.
That website shows what other features you need to take into account, like picture rails for instance.
Ours never looked right and was eventually relegated to a chimney breast, with no fireplace, in the dining room where it looks fine - though I still scowl at it in passing sometimes.
Good luck.

Our local man and a van charged us £25 to move a mirror across town - it was too large to go in our car. It can be quite cheap to pick stuff like that up.
