CARLO Mirror.

Gilded copper mirror, encased in a fumed oak and brass frame.

A sleek, simple design created with complex, traditional methods.

The oak frame is steambent into a complete circle, held with a scarf joint, and fumed to a deep chocolate brown with ammonia. It is then wrapped in highly polished brass to offset the darkness of the fumed oak. The brass seam adds an elegant, subtle detail to the frame.

The copper mirror plane shows the traditional process of the water gilding - edges of the sheets are visible, surface wrinkles appear, and slight differences in tone can be seen. Hand gilding creates a visual interest that is almost textural, something which cannot be achieved with modern mirror glass.

 
 

Available in a variety of gilded glass options.

Dimensions: mirror diameter, 500mm.

This piece is made to order, please enquire about lead time.
