This is our new contemporary mirror. As a standard frame it is called the ‘AD3 panel mirror’ It is a very versatile frame; the customer is able to pick the number and proportions of the frame should they wish. As standard it comes with a lovely foxed antique-effect glass. This is very subtle, in contrast to a great many ‘antiqued’ glass effects. The edges of the panels have a very small, polished bevel, to give the mirror a sharper, more finished look.

This is a No7 Archtop Mirror, with the Feet rounded off, and Finials removed. It was finished in our ‘Ebony Black’ Finish to compliment the other black fittings in the room, and to contrast the Georgian green colour.

This is an extra wide No9 frame. It was made to fit over the columns of the fireplace. A standard size would have been too narrow, and this was a much better fit.
