The wonders of Contemporary Decorative Arts are captured with extreme artisanal skill in the newest addition to our luxury lineup of designer wall mirrors. Each exotic Mango Wood frame is hand-carved into an Art Nouveau Masterpiece with its whiplash curves and flowing, natural lines representing organic, botanical imagery. The hand-jointed carving is the evident work of an artist, no machine can create such unique carvings. Starting with a rectangular block of the frame, our woodworking artisans carefully sculpt each linear contour to create the whimsical, ornamental look popularized throughout the U.S. and Europe during the Industrial Revolution. Along with the great style influencers of the time; Van Gogh, Klimt, Gauguin, & Hector Guimard, this distinctive period at the end of the Arts and Crafts movement produced some of the most unique designs in a distinctive style that is recognizable around the globe despite its relatively brief period of production as a handcrafted art-form. The Art Nouveau style quickly became fashionable for production in textiles, wallpapers, art prints & posters. These items, as opposed to sculptures & woodworking, could be produced quickly, en masse. Finer artistic productions became too costly due to the extraordinary effort involved in creating such fine home furnishings. With such extravagant designs and attention to detail, such beautiful home decor became too expensive in an era that quickly gave way to mass production manufacturing via machine. Rarely available antique designs have been thoughtfully recreated and presented in the tradition of high-quality hand-craftsmanship. Each piece takes over 20 hours to fully complete and is extremely limited in availability.
