This stunning vintage mirror is made using a large, elongated old Blondel picture frame to create an elegant and timeless look for any home. I've restored the frame to its historic charm using modern techniques to make it a jewel in any room again.
I painted the frame with mirror antiquing paste and then wiped it back, so that the gold colour of the original frame shows up here and there between the layers of paint. This technique gives the furniture a special patina and depth while preserving its antique character. The use of antiquing paste has allowed the texture and detail of the frame to stand out, contributing to the unique vintage look of the mirror.
I've further accentuated the decorations with a little white and gold, which subtly emphasises the beauty of the patterns on the frame. The reflection of the gold colour gives the furniture a special shine, while the white highlights give it a subtle elegance. These small details contribute to the harmony and sophistication of the mirror.
Finally, I sealed the surface with a silk gloss parquet varnish, which not only gives it a beautiful shine, but also provides long-term protection. This varnish layer preserves the beauty of the painted surfaces and protects them from damage and wear and tear during everyday use. The silk gloss lacquer gives the frame a discreet shine that enhances its elegance without being overly conspicuous.
This vintage mirror is not only functional, but also decorative and can become the highlight of any room. Placed in the hallway it expands the space and brightens up the environment, in the living room it can become an elegant focal point, while in the bedroom it can create a romantic, relaxed atmosphere.
This unique mirror is the perfect choice for anyone who appreciates vintage style and unique pieces. Meticulous handcrafting and quality materials ensure this decorative mirror will serve your home for years to come. Vintage flair meets modern elegance in this unique piece that is a true value.
