Turquoise Peruvian Mirror 17.7In - Hand Painted Sunburst Wall Art in Gold Or Silver Leaf Entryway Decor, No Duties Usa

A turquoise Peruvian mirror 17.7in across: a hand painted sunburst in gold or silver leaf, with colonial flowers laid behind the glass & mirror slivers inset in every ray tip. ???? Orders to the United States ship from our stock inside the country, so the mirror reaches you in days & nothing is collected at your door. Everywhere else ships direct from our Lima workshop. Each pane of glass is painted from behind, flower by flower, on a turquoise ground so the color lives underneath the surface & cannot rub or fade off it. The rays around it are carved by hand in mohena wood over an MDF core, covered sheet by sheet in bronze leaf with a warm gold tone, then aged with nogalina so the metal has depth instead of a flat shine. Slivers of mirror are set into the tip of every ray. The same piece is also made in silver leaf. Key Features & Benefits: PAINTED FROM BEHIND, NOT ON TOP: the colonial floral motif is laid on the reverse face of each pane over a turquoise ground, so the color sits behind the glass & cannot scratch, rub or fade off the surface. CARVED, NOT MOULDED: every ray is cut by hand in mohena wood on an MDF core. No two sunbursts come out identical, which is what tells a handmade frame from a cast one. TWO FINISHES, ONE DESIGN: choose warm bronze leaf with a gold tone, or silver leaf. Both are applied sheet by sheet & aged with nogalina for depth. MIRROR SLIVERS in THE RAY TIPS: the outline catches light twice once on the leafed carving, once on the inset glass. READY TO HANG OUT OF THE BOx: two D-rings & a tensioned steel wire come fitted before the piece leaves the workshop. One nail & you are done. ???? STYLE & DECOR TIPS: At 17.7 inches this is an accent, not a centrepiece. It holds an entryway wall on its own, or anchors a gallery wall of two or three smaller frames. 2026 interiors are going collected rather than matched: one piece with a story beats a coordinated set. The turquoise ground is what keeps the gold from reading formal. Hang it where light travels across the wall during the day. The inset mirrors on the ray tips are the detail a photograph never quite catches. The warm bronze sits naturally with chocolate browns, terracotta & raw wood; the silver leans cooler, toward greys, linen & pale oak. ????
