Decorative Wall Mirror with Pierced Acanthus Surround in Teak

A pierced surround has no continuous outer frame to hold it together, which raises an obvious question: what is everything actually fixed to?

The answer is a core. Behind the visible carving there is a plain rectangular frame in solid teak, sized to the glass and jointed at its corners - the only fully closed member in the whole piece. It carries the plate, it takes the hanging fixings, and it is what the mirror is really built on.

Every scroll of the surround is then jointed back to that core. The long outer sweeps are not held by their neighbours - they run inward and are housed into the core itself, so each one has its own independent connection to the structure.

The alternative, joining scroll to scroll around the outside, would make the frame a chain: every element depending on the one beside it, and a knock at any point loosening several.

Fixed to a core, a damaged scroll is one scroll. And because the core is a plain rectangle, the mirror hangs square from two points on solid timber rather than from carving.

Material: solid teak in the core frame, inner moulding and every carved element of the surround.

Structure: closed rectangular core frame carrying the glass and the hanging fixings, with each carved scroll independently jointed back into it.

Carving: acanthus scrollwork pierced right through, central plume above, spreading skirt below, carved leaf band to the inner moulding.

Glass: rectangular mirror plate set into the inner moulding.

Finish: soft rose gold applied by hand, with raised faces burnished brighter than the grounds.

Made to order: overall size, how far the surround spreads, plate proportion and finish are all customisable. Custom sizes made to order - final measurements confirmed in writing before production.

A pierced surround is the most fragile thing we ship after glass, and it is packed from the inside out.

Foam is pressed into every opening in the piercing so the carving is braced from behind rather than only wrapped from outside, and acid-free tissue is laid over the rose gold before any foam touches it.

The plume at the top and the outer tips of the skirt project furthest and are given individual moulded foam blocks.

The plate is taped in a grid across its face, faced with foam and covered with a rigid board.

The mirror travels flat, never upright, in a hardwood crate sized to the full spread of the carving - not to the glass - with corner protection at every arris and clear orientation marking.

Multi-layer protective packaging is included on every order at no extra cost.

Delivery is free anywhere in India, with guaranteed dent-free arrival. No distance charge, no size charge and no handling fee.

Production begins once your dimensions are confirmed in writing - and for this mirror we ask for the wall space available, not the glass size, because the carving decides how much room the piece needs.

We photograph your actual mirror through the build: the core frame, the scrolls jointed into it, the carving pierced, the finish and the completed piece.

On site, our team unpacks the mirror flat, marks the fixing positions from the core rail and hangs it level.

Send us lift dimensions, stair turns and doorway widths ahead of dispatch so the route can be planned. Every photograph on this page is of the actual product, not a render.

The solid teak frame and joinery carry a 20-year warranty - the core frame, the inner moulding, and the joint of every carved element back into the core.

A lifetime warranty against termite damage runs with the mirror and never expires. Teak's natural oils are its own protection and our warranty stands behind them.

The mirror plate and the hanging fixings are covered against manufacturing defect.

Because each scroll is jointed to the core independently rather than to its neighbours, a single damaged element can be replaced and re-carved without dismantling the surround - and the carving pattern for your mirror is recorded against your order number so a replacement matches. Contact us and we will arrange it.
