The starting point for this unique design was based on the hand painted strip mirrors. Choosing the colours for this hall mirror entailed working carefully with the client to pick ones which would complement, rather than distract, from the vivid painting. The commission differs in various ways from the standard strip mirrors and is a good illustration of how Possible Mirror’s designs are open to customisation.

Here a tray type frame was made and hand finished in solid beech wood. The 4mm mirrored glass panel has polished edges and appears to float within the pink coloured interior. This design also incorporates other unique details. The corners of the beech frame have two contrasting walnut plugs set on a diagonal. This detail echo’s the screws on the corners of the painting’s original frame, which was also hand made by the artist. As the client used paint from Farrow & Ball in the hallway, the decision was made to use colours from their range for the facing strips on the frame.

​Arranged in a spiral, they are Card Room Green, Lichen, Vert de Terre and Mizzle. The fifth colour used for the interior of the tray frame is a lovely dusty pink – Cinder Rose.
