This unique, uniquely shaped vintage mirror is made using a heart-shaped picture frame that exudes a romantic and nostalgic feel. The frame was first painted dark brown in several coats, giving it depth and warmth. The antique effect is further enhanced by the use of a turquoise antiquing paste. I applied the paste to the painted surface and then gently wiped it back, leaving the turquoise hue only in the recesses, giving a special contrast and antique look.
To highlight the details of the mirror, I used gold wax on the decorations. This gold plating gives the mirror an elegant shimmer and further enhances the heart motifs, which are delicately embraced by the turquoise-brown frame. The gold decoration is not ostentatious, yet gives this vintage mirror an elegant and timeless look.
Finally, I sealed the surface of the mirror with silk gloss water-based parquet. This lacquer not only protects the surface, but also provides a pleasant silk sheen that subtly reflects the light, making the mirror a discreetly shimmering and elegant addition to any room. The water-based varnish is environmentally friendly, durable and resistant, so the mirror will retain its original beauty for many years.
This vintage style mirror is a great choice for anyone who loves romantic, vintage accessories. It can be placed in the bedroom, living room or even the hallway to create a unique and magical atmosphere. It can also be the perfect gift for loved ones, as each piece is unique and the result of careful craftsmanship.
