I am a mirror designer and maker catering to the interior design trade.

This is the third in this newly designed cathedral mirror group. The top is a deeper arch. The L, R and bottom are plated with lightly antiqued restoration mirror.

Again, the center is common reflective mirror but other mirror types are available and the mirror panel layout could be made more interesting or simplified.

This is the second in the new cathedral mirror series.
Like the first, it features two different moulding shapes combined into one frame but this has a slim pedestal base.

The rounded top is finished with a moderately distressed, antiqued gold leaf over black while the L&R sides are plated with a lustrous reverse painted glass of rich, warm, mottled dark and gold on a 2" frame with a ridged gold leaf lip.
Again, I put regular mirror into this prototype but there are other options. The seam is also optional.

I wrestled with which finish to use for this new group of cathedrals. I could easily have gone with a warm silver or an antique black.

This is the first from a new series of cathedral framed mirrors. I've used conventional mirror for this prototype but I can make it with the antiqued restoration custom mirror. In this cathedral the mirror is divided with side panels and rosettes.

A very good size ratio is 26 x 52 but I can customize that as well as many other features like the finish, rosette type, and mirror divisions.
In case you're wondering, the sky is the reflection. It's very tricky to photograph mirrors and I find that laying the mirror on the ground is the simplest method. Pardon any distortion in the shape you may detect. I photograph from an angle so that you don't see me reflected.

All new. A shop on the Upper Eastside of Manhattan has requested samples so they can place an order and I'm about to show them to a shop in West Palm Beach. Please pray for success with this new line.

The latest in this reverse painted glass series-
Vibrant sky blue with pale white holidays, silver leafed bead detail and rosettes, center mirror is custom antiqued restoration glass in the three panel arrangement. It's 28" x 48" with a 4.75" wide frame.

I'm doing a lot with various colors and combining colors in this frame format. There will be more posts showing this just ahead.

This framed mirror is 18 x 28 inches, soft pink w. white spots and gold fleck reverse painted restoration glass, soft white inside, antiqued warm silver bead and small conical rosette detail.

The mirror is genuine antique from a French or Italian estate mirror wall that was purchased at Parisian auction house Desbordes.

I've been developing this idea since January and today Bopha and I photographed it.
The frame is plated with my warm black and gold, mottled eglomise' reverse painted glass. The classic egg & dart 1/2" moulding and squared rosettes are leafed and antiqued.
The center mirror layout is adapted to the frame design using lightly antiqued restoration mirror.
I am planning a few other color and shape variations on this in the near future.

This is the new Carnelian Painted Eglomise Mirror for KRB on E. 74th. With these finish close-ups I want to show the irresistible allure and richness of the red as well as the organic mottled finish on the reverse painted glass.

The overall size is 32x52 and will be on display at KRB by mid May.

Designer Michael Smith's new book. It's beautiful.

KRB, NY commissioned this custom mirror for their showroom using my own green reverse finished glass and quickly found a buyer for it. Plans for a rose red version are being finalized and it could be in the showroom by early May.

A little bit of custom antiqued hand-rolled mirror work in an amazing home in Old Greenwich, Connecticut. The mirrored wall area is in the wet bar.

Blooming Amaryllis and Vernon Mirrors go very well together.
