This
is a truly magnificent mirror frame and planter in Victorian style.
Exquisitely designed to allure, it is visually splendid. Its
suggestive structure and ornamentation take us back to the
time between the XIX and XX centuries, when mirrors like these hang
in the most elegant and exclusive parlors.
The frame has space for three main mirrors, a central larger one and
two small ones on each side. Six more round mirrors are in the lower
part of the frame. The planter is below the central mirror,
providing space for plants or adornments. Two more small shelves are
below the two side mirrors.
The whole frame is brilliantly ornamented with fretworked panels and
borders containing among other things columns, dragons, grotesque
masks and a large number of leaves and flowers. The protruding
molding of the upper part is particularly graceful.
I have
completely reconstructed this pattern after an old Italian
masterpiece of fretwork design. The largest piece is divided in
sections that can be cut separately and assembled easily with the
help of dovetail joints. The joints of these sections, though discrete, are
nevertheless almost completely covered by the different pieces
forming the ornamentation of the mirror. Besides the long time
required to complete a project like this, its construction has no
particular difficulty. The patterns have been
designed to use 1/4 and 1/8 inches wood or 6 and 3 mm wood. By
scaling the pattern appropriately any other wood widths can also be
used. These are the measures of the mirror depending on the wood
width you use:
