Description :

These handcrafted mirrors feature traditional reverse painting techniques, showcasing the artistry of their international origins. Reverse painting on glass—or verre églomisé—is a meticulous process where an artist paints the image in reverse order on the back of a glass pane, starting with the fine details and finishing with the background, so that when viewed from the front through the glass, the image appears in its correct orientation with added depth and brilliance.

The collection features distinct styles:

Folk Art Narrative: Select pieces feature intricate, colorful depictions of rural life, landscapes, and traditional scenes, characteristic of Peruvian artisanal craftsmanship.
Floral and Decorative Motifs: Other mirrors display delicate, symmetric patterns of stylized flowers and vines, echoing classic ornamental traditions.

The collection includes both large and small pieces, each displaying unique character and artisanal charm. One of the mirrors features an informational label on the back regarding the reverse painting on glass process. A few chips are noted on the red oval mirror. Most are in good condition with the expected minor imperfections of artisan handmade crafting.

Dimensions:

Largest: 8.5"h x 7.5"w x .5"d
Smallest: 4"h x 2.5"w x .25"d
