Green Sun Mirror 17.7in | Hand Painted Mirrors Wall Art, Peruvian Colonial Flowers on Reverse Glass | Gallery Wall Decor, No Duties USA

Seller's description

A green sun mirror 17.7in across: hand painted mirror wall art from Peru, with colonial flowers laid on the reverse of the glass and gilded carved rays around them - two painted grounds, green and colonial ivory.

🛡️ Shipped directly from our workshop in Lima with all United States import duties and taxes paid by us - the price you see is the price at your door, with no paperwork and no charge on delivery.

✨ Key Features & Benefits:
✅ ALL-INCLUSIVE US PRICE: we cover the import duties and the customs handling on every order to the United States, so nothing is collected from you when the mirror arrives.
✅ **Painted from behind, on the back of the glass**: the flowers are laid in reverse on each panel, so the glass itself covers the paint. The colour cannot rub off, and it keeps the depth that a surface-painted frame loses.
✅ **Two grounds, not one**: a deep green ring closest to the mirror and a colonial ivory arc outside it, each panel bordered in gilded wood. It is what makes this piece read as a garland rather than a single band of colour.
✅ **Hand cut mirror between the rays**: slim mirrored pieces are set one by one into the carved sunrays, so the outer edge catches light instead of flattening into gold.
✅ **Bronze leaf in a gold tone, aged with nogalina**: the leaf is laid by hand sheet by sheet, then nogalina is worked into the carving so the relief shows depth instead of a flat shine, and sealed with lacquer.

🎨 STYLE & DECOR TIPS:
✔ A hallway is where this one earns its place, and it is a natural gallery wall piece at 17.7in. Green and ivory give a corridor something to look at, and the gilded rays spread what little light a hall usually gets.
✔ It sits with dark woods, woven textiles and other handmade objects - a collected interior rather than a matched set.
✔ Hang it opposite a doorway rather than beside it. The painted ring reads best straight on, which is how you see it walking toward it.

🌟 PRODUCT DETAILS:
✔ ID: MLG101608
✔ Artisan: Edmundo Contreras - Peruvian master craftsman, UNESCO award
✔ Materials: MDF core and hand-carved mohena wood + reverse painted glass panels + hand cut mirror + bronze leaf in a gold tone + nogalina aging + protective sealing lacquer
✔ Technique: the flowers are painted on the reverse of each glass panel in the Cuzco workshop tradition, then the panels are set into the carved and gilded frame; the rays carry hand cut mirror pieces
✔ Inspiration: the sun, as the Inca revered it - which is where the radiating form comes from
✔ Finish: sealed with protective lacquer against humidity, to hold the sheen over the years
✔ Ready to hang: two D-rings and a fitted hanging wire, installed before the piece leaves the workshop - it hangs on a single nail
✔ This is a brand-new, handcrafted piece made in the colonial Andean tradition, not a restored antique.

📏 Dimensions & Weight:
✔ Diameter: 17.7" (45 cm) · Depth: 1.18" (3 cm)
✔ Weight: 2.98 Lb (1.35 Kg)
✔ Scale note: 17.7" across is about the size of a standard cushion. This is an accent mirror, meant to hang in a pair, a trio or a gallery wall rather than to fill a large bare wall by itself. Please check the measurement against your wall before ordering.

🧼 CARE:
✔ Dust the painted panels with a dry soft cloth only. Do not use glass cleaner or any solvent on them, and avoid direct steam - the paint sits on the back of the glass and the lacquer protects the gilding.
