A
gracefully shaped fancy mirror frame presided over by a protruding
grotesque face that seems to watch down with attention. The frame is
completed with a magnificent ornamentation of leaves.
The frame is
formed by four pieces that fit together by means of dovetail joints.
The careful computer restoration assures that these joints will fit
with extreme accuracy. This type of design permits making a quite
big mirror frame with just a scroll saw. The joints are then
covered by some ornamental pieces and the grotesque itself. The use
of contrasting wood colours, very dark in the rear and clear for the
fretworked pieces creates a staring effect in the finished mirror.
