This romantic, vintage-style mirror is made from an old Blondel picture frame that has been given new life during a refurbishment. Not only is the mirror a functional piece, but it can also be a unique and elegant ornament to any interior. The base material is an old blondel picture frame, which with its original details and fine carvings provides a stunning base for the mirror. The classic elegance of the Blondel frame is perfect for vintage style.
The base colour of the frame is a mix of HH chalk paint in Tuscan olive and Santorini blue. This colour combination gives the frame a fresh and Mediterranean feel while maintaining its classic elegance. The fine texture and matt finish of the paint provide the perfect base for antiquing.
After painting, I treated the frame with a white antiquing paste, which I wiped back to leave the paste only in the recesses. This technique brings out the detail in the frame and gives it a patinaed, vintage look. The antiquing creates a subtle contrast between the colours and makes the piece even more unique. I've highlighted the frame's embellishments with gold here and there to add a touch of luxury to the mirror. The gold details add a subtle shimmer to the frame and further enhance its elegance.
I sealed the frame of the mirror with a silk gloss parquet lacquer, which protects the surfaces while providing a beautiful shine. The lacquer enhances the colours of the paint and the fine details of the decorations, ensuring long-lasting durability
