This beautiful vintage mirror is a rebirth of an old blondel frame that will add timeless elegance and sophisticated design to any interior. The base of the frame is painted with a Moss Green shade of HH chalk paint, which exudes freshness and a natural feel. This deep green shade was the perfect starting point for using other colours and techniques to create a unique patina effect.
I covered the Moss Green base with Tired Green paint, which I gently rubbed back to leave only in the recesses. Thanks to this antiqued technique, the Tired Green colour stands out beautifully, giving the frame a unique depth and texture. This layered painting process ensures that the mirror frame is unique and unrepeatable.
I accentuated the decorations with white paint, which added visual depth to the finely crafted pattern. The freshness of the white shade contrasts with the rich tones of the greens, highlighting the fine details of the frame. I enhanced the elegant look with gold wax, which adds a brilliant shimmer to the embellishments while maintaining the timeless and classic character of the frame. The gold details gently reflect the light, adding to the aesthetic value of the frame.
As a final step, I sealed the frame with a water-based silk gloss parquet masking that protects the painted surface and gives the mirror a durable, soft shine. This lacquer brings out the richness of the colours while maintaining the subtlety of the antiqued effect. The satin finish makes the frame timeless and scratch resistant, so you can enjoy using this unique piece for many years to come.
This vintage mirror is the perfect choice for anyone who loves natural colours, classic design and handcrafted creations. Place it in your living room, bedroom or even in a hallway and it's guaranteed to grab everyone's attention instantly! This mirror is not just a utilitarian object, but a work of art that will function as a standout ornament in any home.
