WHAT’S ITS HISTORY?

The Venetian style of mirrors shows us many types of ‘frameless’ designs, whereby the entirety of the mirror front is made of mirror glass and has no specific frame.

WHAT’S IT MADE OF?

The primary mirror glass itself comes with a small convex bevel on the four edges of the centre pane.

This works to reinforce the glass whilst providing a gentle visual effect as the sheet of mirror glass tapers off to the inner edges of the black and mirror glass frame.

The black and un-coloured mirror glass frame portions themselves also come with a smaller bevelled edge, creating a consistent bevelled style across the entire front, varying in proportions of course.

The black elements of the mirrors frame are made of fully coloured glass, which gives them their full-bodied black colouration.

All of the front facing mirror glass is mounted on a high resin plywood board, chosen for its strength.

This board is then covered with a subtle, thin, black, soft-to-the-touch felt material so as to not distract from the mirror itself, this also serves to protect the mirror and neighbouring objects from damage.
