Every scroll, leaf, and flourish is meticulously brought to life by a single artisan over hundreds of hours, carved into a substantial solid limewood frame. The surface is then prepared with layers of gesso and clay bole, creating the perfect foundation for the delicate process of water gilding. Sheets of the finest 23.75k gold leaf are individually applied and then burnished by hand to a brilliant, deep lustre that captures and reflects light with unparalleled warmth. This is not merely a mirror, but a piece of heritage art that will command attention and admiration in any setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExternal Dimensions (Large)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e180cm Height x 100cm Width x 8cm Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExternal Dimensions (Medium)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e150cm Height x 85cm Width x 8cm Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrame Material\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003eSolid, Kiln-Dried Limewood\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrame Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003eHand-Applied 23.75k Gold Leaf or Silver Leaf over Clay Bole\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMirror Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e4mm Pilkington Optiwhite™ Glass with 25mm Bevelled Edge\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHanging Orientation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003ePortrait or Landscape (Heavy-Duty D-Rings pre-installed)\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Weight (Large)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003eApprox. 38kg (84 lbs)\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003eUnited Kingdom\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePerformance Highlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaster-Level Craftsmanship:\u003c\/strong\u003e The frame requires over 120 hours of dedicated, single-artisan carving and gilding to complete.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenuine Gold Leaf:\u003c\/strong\u003e Utilises 23.75-karat gold, providing a deeper, richer, and more authentic lustre than inferior 'gold effect' paints or metal leafs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  * \u003cstrong\u003eExceptional Clarity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Features 4mm Pilkington Optiwhite™ low-iron glass, offering a crystal-clear, distortion-free reflection with 92% light transmission.\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKiln-Dried Hardwood:\u003c\/strong\u003e The solid limewood frame is kiln-dried to a moisture content of 8%, preventing warping or cracking in centrally heated homes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVersatile Installation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supplied with four pre-installed heavy-duty D-rings, allowing for secure and stable hanging in either portrait or landscape orientation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned to be the undeniable centrepiece of a grand drawing room, a luxurious master bedroom, or an imposing entrance hall.
