    Hi Jessica,  It's a whole lot easier to desilver a mirror than to
    silver it. Any kind of abrasion will remove the silvering all too
    easily.  Once when I was moving cross-country with several mirrored
    pieces, the "professional" mover I hired used masking tape on the
    back of the mirrors to secure them. When I removed the masking tape,
    the silvering came along with the tape and left a quite interesting
    pattern.  Too bad I wasn't interested in artistic effects at the
    time!  

Beth
