This striking piece features a central circular mirror encased within an elaborate hand-forged wrought iron framework. The design showcases heavy multi-layered scrollwork and stylised acanthus-inspired curlicues that wrap the glass, anchored by a prominent textured central clasp at the base.

Suspended from an integrated heavy-gauge iron link chain, the piece balances industrial strength with neoclassical elegance. The iron has a nuanced dark finish with subtle silvery undercurrents, highlighting the hammered texture of the artisan work.
