Lucky Mirror Works

Our workshop, Lucky Mirror Works, sits at No. 30 Belveder Road in the Mazgaon area. We have been working with glass and mirrors for a long time at this same spot on Belveder Road. The shop is usually covered in a fine layer of glass dust, and you have to be careful where you step. We have large sheets of mirror leaning against the walls and various cutting tools scattered across the heavy wooden worktables. It’s a noisy place because there is always the sound of glass being scored or edges being smoothed down. We don’t have a fancy storefront with bright lights. Most people find us because they saw our sign while walking through Mazgaon or someone told them we could cut a specific size for their home. We spend our hours measuring twice and cutting once. Sometimes we get a piece wrong and have to start over, which is just part of the trade. The air smells a bit like the polishing compound we use. We are just a group of people who like working with our hands. We don't use any big computers for the designs; we mostly just use pencils and rulers on the back of old scraps of paper. It’s an old-fashioned way of doing things but it works for us. When a customer picks up their finished mirror, we wrap it in old newspaper and hope they get it home safely.
