Huge Vintage Edwardian Mahogany Shield Shape Wall Mirror ‘Washed’ in Farrow and Ball French Gray
An original early 20th century mahogany mirror, upcycled for a fresh contemporary finish.
Genuine original glass. Bevelled and in good condition, some very minor spotting and marks.
I have applied two primer coats.
On top of these I applied a single coat of Farrow and Ball French Gray eggshell.
This leaves a washed effect. Three coats would cover the white 100%, so one leaves a lovely washed effect with the white peaking through. Have a good look at the images. I have sanded the edges so that the wood shows through a little bit.
Leaves a very contemporary shabby chic finish.
French Gray is really much more green than grey, but characterfully flits between the two depending on the light and time of day. Taking inspiration from French decoration and wallpapers used in the 19th century, it creates the most relaxed of rooms.
