oak shelf commission

This mirror was commissioned for the guest bedroom in a London house. Having viewed our natural wood coloured shelf mirrors, the client requested a bespoke modified version.

The mirror was constructed to a specific size, with an oak veneer insert in the shelf. Our client also requested that the colour of the wood should be as close as possible to a vintage oak wardrobe in the bedroom.

​
​

​
To achieve the desired colour the oak was stained with a succession of washes in varying tints. The frame also required rubbing with wire wool between coats and finally tinted waxes were applied to achieve an aged effect.
​
As the wardrobe doors feature square joined panels, the top section of the mirror was designed to reflect this feature so we used lap joints rather than mitred corners.
