There are a few options that immediately come to mind.
You could go to a glass/mirror shop, where dark mirrors can 
usually be purchased quite easily.  You can see more in a dark
mirror such as this, however, it isn't really black.

Black glass is also available for purchase.  If it can't
be found in a regular glass/mirror shop, it will be available
at stained glass supply stores.

You can also make your own using a clear piece of glass,
and painting the back side of it black.  If you want a
curved surface, painting the inside of the face plate from
an old clock works very well.  Frame according to your
preference.

Regards,

Marina
