A LARGE CHUNKY HAND CRAFTED DRIFTWOOD FRAMED MIRROR
This beautiful and quite unique handcrafted
driftwood framed mirror is a large 102cm wide and 93cm from top to bottom in
size (at longest part of wood) The mirror is framed with large, thick,
chunky, rustic pieces of driftwood and also backed with a large thick flat solid
piece of driftwood.The actual driftwood is collected from the Scottish
shores, cleaned, dried and partly sanded in order to try to retain the natural
beauty, shape and form which has been created by the power of the pounding or
smoothing waves from the actual sea itself. It is then hand crafted into a unique one off
functional and decorative design.
The origin of the wood is unknown which is quite
fascinating, perhaps from old ships ? or from distant shores ? this piece has the original nails which
of course are rusty and add to the character I believe.
This particular mirror is framed with a lovely natural rope, which is actually quite difficult to come by, it is also
reclaimed from the sea, cleaned and dried, the rope is shaped around the edge of the mirror and also up the
centre to create a “wave” effect.
