Painted Rajasthani Mirror - 1920

This charming painted mirror from Rajasthan dates to the early 20th century and showcases the enduring appeal of traditional Indian decorative arts. The hand-painted frame is adorned with a repeating foliate motif, featuring stylised leaves painted against a warm terracotta-orange ground. Richly coloured and full of character, the design reflects the vibrant aesthetic found throughout Rajasthan's historic homes and furnishings.

The frame retains its original hand-painted decoration, softened by time and use to create a beautifully aged surface with authentic patina. Its versatile proportions allow it to be displayed either in portrait or landscape orientation, making it equally suited to hallways, bedrooms, living spaces, or bathrooms. A decorative and functional piece, this mirror brings warmth, colour, and a touch of Indian heritage to both traditional and contemporary interiors.
