Peruvian Painted Glass Octagonal Mirror in Gold and Amber Finish by AFD Home - AFD-11150856
This Peruvian Painted Glass Octagonal Mirror is offered to you by AFD Home. The Peruvian Reverse Octagonal Mirror is 48" wide and 71" tall. It features rich, varying sienna and gold contrasted by an outer border of white and amber tones, creating additional effects of depth and contrast in this reverse painted art mirror. Set into an octagonal, angled, and multi-reflective carved frame design, the technique used embodies an art form developed hundreds of years ago in the small villages of the Andes mountains. The artists were able to create colorful objects utilizing indigenous vegetable and plant-based colors. The techniques evolved over the years from generation to generation and expanded to painting hides and pottery. It was later discovered that by using this technique and painting on the reverse side of glass, the colors and designs were even more beautifully magnified. Today, they are even further enriched by backing the painting panels with gold and silver leaf foils. We offer many color options in these fine and very popular authentic Peruvian mirrors for you to choose from, and while there are many copies created in lower quality trying to copy the original techniques, none are as beautiful as those offered under our Santa Lucia Collection. A hand-made treasure and an investment in a quality art form to be cherished for generations to come.
