bird mirror no.2

Picture
Picture
This mirror, in a portrait format, juxtaposes early nineteenth century bird prints with a contemporary minimalist aesthetic. The design is the second in a small series of unique mirrors.

The top section features three hand coloured prints, all dating from 1802, with three reverse painted glass panels. The frame is constructed in beech wood and is hand painted, it has four coloured stripes of increasing width running laterally across the front.



Each bird print is fitted within a shallow box frame glazed with conservation grade glass with a UV filter of 99%. Additional protection is afforded by the inclusion of black museum grade cotton cardboard spacers ensuring the glass does not touch the prints.

Nine colours from the range by Farrow & Ball were used for the frame and glass panels: 
Blazer, Babouche, Yeabridge Green, Brinjal, Mahogany, Inchyra Blue, Vardo, Calke Green and Eating Room Red.
