WHAT’S ITS HISTORY?

The Langport’s design is a fairly modern one on the whole, given that in the past it would have been very difficult for mirror makers to accurately cut and bevel such high numbers of intricate mirror glass pieces, and arrange them in the way that can be seen on the front of this mirror here today.

Named after the historic port town of Langport in Somerset, the many pieces of mirror glass surrounding the edge of this mirror are there to pay symbolic homage to the towns many porting bays.

Seen in another perspective, the Langport mirror can also symbolise the sun and its rays, bursting out and bringing light into your home.

WHAT’S IT GOOD FOR & WHAT DOES IT GO WITH?

The Langport mirror certainly can be seen as somewhat striking in appearance. A fairly bold and beautiful statement to bring into the home with lots of sunshine charm and flare.

The somewhat sun burst type of style this mirror has been imbued with instils feelings of radiance and light into its environment, making it ideal for those homely rooms that perhaps are in need of some level of upliftment.

The bath or wash room is another keen spot for this mirror, thanks to its easy to clean and wipe mirror glass front.

A match made in heaven for those seeking to add an element of contrast to an otherwise dull living space. Or to add an additional sense of flamboyance to an already fun and bubbly style.

Coming in only one colour, mirror glass, the Langport mirror in terms of colour matching is fairly straightforward in this respect. Typically appreciated for the fact that mirror glass tends to maintain neutrality with its surroundings, by only reflecting the colours that are already there.

WHAT’S IT MADE OF?

All portions of the highly polished mirror glass pieces run around the edge of the mirror with little bevelled edges, the idea of which is to support the mirror if there ought to be an event of an accident, while also taking ‘the edge off’ the mirror to remove the otherwise sharp and unsightly edges.

These mirror glass pieces are painstakingly put onto a high-resin plywood board, that has been enveloped with black felt to ensure the mirror and its surroundings avoid damage.

The colouring decision for the felt being black starts from the idea of wanting to keep the felt visually unbiased, so as not to occupy the eye from the actual mirror itself or its environment.
