Broken Mirror

After many years of searching for just the right wardrobe I finally
found it, outbid everyone else and arranged to dismantle it and take it
home from the damp old manor house where I found it to my humble abode.
A friend offered to help me move it and - horror or horrors, he broke
the beautiful, bevelled, circa 1900, 1/4 - 1/2" thick, pitted and
cloudy mirror of the wardrobe's central door. He immediately offered
to buy a replacement mirror - which would be nice and shiny and better
than the old one!!! I took a deep breath, calmed myself and explained
in a controlled tone that a nice new shiny mirror would do as much for
the piece and putting plastic handles on it. Does anyone know of a
solution - the mirror is broken in two pieces right across the middle
so I don't think that repair is an option (unless anyone out there can
tell me different), but I did wonder whether there is a method of
having a replacement mirror manufactured which might be able to "fake"
the look of an old mirror - bevelling, thickness, blemishes and all?
Any help would be really appreciated and might even help repair a
slightly dented friendship!
Thanks
A
