A Syrian wall mirror frame with an integrated shelf, hand-carved in mashrabiya latticework across the crest and apron. The mashrabiya is a defining element of traditional Arabic architecture, in continuous use from the middle ages to the mid-twentieth century, and here it is worked at furniture scale rather than architectural scale.
- Hand-carved mashrabiya latticework across the crest and the shelf apron
- Turned spindle galleries flanking the glass
- A shelf deep enough for a small vase, a candle or a set of keys
- Supplied with the mirror glass and backboard fitted
Weeks of bench work go into a frame of this kind, and no two come off the bench identically.
