Can you post a real life photo or rendering of such material as a reference?
"Antique mirror" can mean a lot of things. :)

Sure, I need only the mirror material, not the frame.
I've joined to http://coronamaterials.com/, but they didin't send me yet the email confirmation to check there if is any material like this
Thanks!

Or you can use single material with a dirt mask in reflection level slot, and/or reflection glossiness, and/or Fresnel IOR.

Last uploaded material - about 18 months old. I think that site is long time dead. Anyway, most of those materials are rather low quality, you have access to much higher quality materials in official Corona library.

Are you referring to library you can access via the 3dsmax toolbar button?
