This large, oblong old Blondel picture frame has been given a new lease of life and can now adorn your home as a beautiful, unique mirror. The frame's rich detailing and carefully chosen colour coordination give this special piece a magical vintage look. I used a new brand of paint to transform the frame, creating a completely fresh and exciting colour scheme.
The base of the frame is in a smoky mauve shade, which gives it a romantic and subtle feel. I applied a midnight blue colour to this base, which I then wiped back to bring out the blue colour beautifully in the recesses. This technique creates a wonderful antiqued effect that highlights the rich detail of the frame and adds depth to the decorations. The midnight blue shade creates a fresh, modern contrast with the smoky mauve base, while maintaining the vintage character of the mirror.
The frame decorations have been given special highlights. The aubergine shade gives an elegant and rich look, while the gold accents add a touch of luxury and elegance. These fine details make the mirror look even more special and create an elegant contrast between the deeper colours.
The final finish is a silk gloss, water-based parquet varnish, which not only gives the frame durability and protection, but also a subtle, silky sheen. The lacquer emphasises the richness of the colours and preserves the timeless beauty of the painted surfaces.
This mirror is the perfect choice for those looking for unique, handmade and carefully crafted pieces for their home. The vintage style mirror looks great in an elegant living room, bedroom or even a classic hallway. The unique colour scheme and rich embellishments ensure that this mirror will take centre stage in any space, bringing style and elegance to any interior.
