The Deco Mirror H1330mm x W660mm
Handcrafted using English Cherry and Birdseye Maple veneer with Cornish Serpentine, Maple and Patinated Copper detailing.
Veneered onto high quality Birch Ply that provides stability and enables techniques such as book matching and wrapping (continuing the veneer around the sides of the frame). This allows beautiful symmetry and enables construction of the corner details that would not be possible using solid wood due to movement.
The ply has been pre-lipped with the appropriate timber so that no veneer is glued directly to the laminations of the ply.
As a result of this construction, the mirror should not be affected by normal temperature and humidity changes as solid wood but they are not suitable for bathrooms or steamy environments.
The Serpentine has been collected from the Lizard Coast in Cornwall and handcrafted by Don Taylor a local craftsman and stone sculptor.
Richard uses a variety of techniques to patinate the copper to his requirements, normally over a period of several weeks to get a natural oxidised finish. There is always an element of variation in this process so care is taken to select the materials that harmonise with the different tones and textures that occur.
The bevelled mirror is foil backed and neatly secured using triangular profile beading and stainless steel raised head slotted screws. The mirror is hung on two hand-made brass keyhole hangers. Good fixings are required. Please contact Richard for advice if needed.
