Private Client, Newlands

The four panels in the workshop shortly before installation. Note the rippled edge treatment.

 
These full-length antique mirrored panels were installed into the doors concealing the main dressing room at a private residence in Newlands. The client, an artist, wished for mirrors that were "silvery, but cloudy" with swirling blooms and shapes discernible in the surface. Having seen a sample with a rippled edge, she asked for the same treatment along the edges of her mirrors. The resulting effect is of antique silver mirrors floating like puddles on the sheets of glass.
