Testimonial - Mrs P
This was a No29 Pier Glass Mirror that we made for Mrs P. She wanted something a lot wider than our standard size.
“…We love it and it supplements the furnishings in the room very nicely. Thank you for your help.”

Testimonial - Mr and Mrs J
These mirrors were specially made for Mr and Mrs Johnson. They are a combination of our No62 Bulls-eye mirror and our No34 regency frame section. They suit being free-hung (opposed to mounted on the fireplace) as they have the same moulding all the way around the glass.

Just a quick note to say how delighted we are with our mirror.
The size and proportions are spot on and I am glad that we took your advice and looked at several different options in situ.
On both occasions, your delivery and installation guys were excellent.
Many thanks
