While the architectural faux bamboo frame and polished brass inlay are distinctly in the style of 1980s designer powerhouses like Maitland-Smith and LaBarge, this specific piece has been elevated into a one-of-a-kind Turtle and Crane bespoke restoration.
Our studio has transformed the original finish into a crisp, hand-glazed white masterpiece. This is not a simple paint job; it is a labor-intensive, multi-layered artisanal process. We applied a base of high-quality white satin, followed by a strategic glazing technique meticulously worked into the faux bamboo nodes and grain. This creates a sophisticated "plastered" aesthetic with incredible depth and shadow, allowing the organic texture of the bamboo to leap off the frame. The vibrant polished brass inlay remains intact, providing a gleaming, high-contrast architectural border that frames the mirror glass with unapologetic luxury.
This is a heavy, substantial designer-grade piece that captures the crisp, tropical glamour of Dorothy Draper and the whimsical, layered "More is More" philosophy of Tony Duquette. Whether anchoring a grand entryway or serving as the focal point of a maximalist salon, this mirror acts as "wall jewelry," bridging the gap between iconic 20th-century design and the most discerning contemporary interiors.
