Handcrafted Reverse-Painted Glass Wall Mirror Gold from Peru, "Golden Season"

A master of reverse painting on glass, artisan Flora Polo draws on decades of experience to create this original wall mirror in her workshop in Peru, merging a frame, glass, paint and patience to portray the warmth of her country. Peru's summery stylistic origins lie in the fusion of local indigenous and southern European cultures, especially visible in this wall mirror, which incorporates reverse painting on glass, a technique brought from Europe, with floral styles typical of local Peruvian art, crowned by golden borders and a rich turquoise hue nostalgic of the warm Mediterranean climate.
