Large Wall Mirror in Antiqued Gold Teak with Mirrored Border

A mirrored border sounds like a simple addition. In practice it is the hardest part of the mirror to make look right, because it is made of four separate strips that have to behave as one frame.

Each strip is a long, narrow piece of glass. Where two meet at a corner, there is a join - and a join between two mirrors is visible in a way that a join between two pieces of timber is not, because each plate reflects at its own edge.

So the joins are hidden rather than minimised. The carved bars that divide the border from the centre plate are continued across the corners, and every strip is cut so that its ends fall underneath a bar. The eye sees carved crossings where the border turns, and the glass joins sit beneath them.

The strips are also set at exactly the same depth as the centre plate. Even a slight step between them would catch light along its whole length and read as a shadow - so all the rebates are worked to one depth across the frame, and the plates are bedded rather than simply dropped in.

Done properly, the border reads as a single ring of mirror around the middle.

Material: solid teak in the frame, dividing bars, crest, clasps and back structure.

Glass: arched centre plate with a narrow mirrored border on all four sides, all set to one rebate depth.

Bars: slim carved bars dividing border from centre, continued across the corners so the border joins fall beneath them.

Carving: foliate crest with figures above the arch, carved clasps at the shoulders and lower corners, beaded mouldings alongside every glass edge.

Finish: antiqued gold, worked back by hand so the recesses read darker than the raised carving.

Back: solid structure carrying the hanging fixings.

Made to order: overall size, border width, crest design and finish are all customisable. Custom sizes made to order - final measurements confirmed in writing before production.

A multi-plate mirror has more glass edges than a single-plate one, and every edge is a weak point, so each plate is packed as its own item.

The centre plate is taped in a grid across its face, foam-faced and boarded. Each border strip is wrapped individually, edge-padded along its full length and packed in a slotted box so no two strips touch.

Where the design allows, plates travel out of the frame and are fitted on site; where they travel fitted, each is faced with foam and a rigid board.

The frame takes acid-free tissue directly against the antiqued gold, then foam padding shaped along the mouldings, with individual blocking around the crest, the shoulder clasps and the corner clasps.

Everything ships flat in a hardwood crate, corner-protected and marked for orientation. 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 on this mirror we agree the border width separately from the overall size, since it changes the proportion considerably.

We photograph your actual mirror through the build: the frame with its rebates worked to one depth, the carving, the antiqued finish, the plates fitted and the finished mirror.

On site, our team unpacks it flat, fits any plates that travelled separately, marks the fixing positions 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 frame members, the arched head, the dividing bars, the crest and the back structure, along with every joint between them.

A lifetime warranty against termite damage runs with the mirror and never expires. Teak's own oils are its first protection and our warranty is the second.

All plates - centre and border - and the hanging fixings are covered against manufacturing defect.

The cutting sizes for every plate in your mirror are recorded against your order number, which matters on a multi-plate mirror: a single border strip can be replaced to the original size rather than the whole glass being remade. The antiqued finish is logged alongside it. Contact us and we will arrange it.
