Description

This striking 19th-century mirror has been created from an original Indian window frame, beautifully preserving the architectural character of the piece. The frame features a graceful Mughal-inspired arch, with its softly scalloped inner profile reflecting the refined curves seen in historic North Indian architecture.

The timber retains a wonderfully weathered surface, with layers of aged blue paint that enhance the depth and texture of the carving. Subtle variations, worn edges and areas of exposed wood speak to its former life as part of a building, giving the mirror both authenticity and presence. The lower section retains decorative carved details, adding sculptural interest and grounding the elegant arch above.

Now thoughtfully repurposed as a mirror and supplied with sturdy wall hangers, this piece makes a beautiful focal point in a hallway, bedroom or living space — combining architectural heritage with practical function.
