A stunning way to frame your reflection and add a touch of glamour and sophistication to a living room, bedroom or hallway. These mirrors are carved and cut from Indian rosewood and ornamented using the fine detail of nacre patterns in an inlay technique that is as old as the palaces shimmering in the ‘Land of Kings’ where they are made. Solidly hand crafted with substantially thick hardwood and fashioned with sturdy woodworking joints, the frame is built for strength and enduring quality. The artisans of Rajasthan, where these mirrors are made, learn their crafts from their forefathers, where this form of Indian art is endemic to the cultural heritage of the region and there are academy schools to train skilled workers and turn them into master craftsmen. The skill required to manufacture one of these mother of pearl inlay mirrors is such that it needs to please the Royal clientele, who still commission the artisans today. This means the quality of the carpentry is as cultivated as the physical attractiveness of the decorative ornament. A subtle way to introduce a glimmer of iridescent ornamentation into a room, the mother of pearl mirrors work beautifully as stand-alone pieces and melt seamlessly into your home décor. To create an Indian theme in a room, couple an inlay mirror with a mother of pearl chest of drawers, wardrobe or dressing table. For those considering a larger mother of pearl inlay furniture item, a Rajasthani mirror above a mantelpiece or in a hallway gives you the perfect opportunity to reflect on how well the inlay colour of your choice suits your interior décor.
