About the Item

This unique mid-19th-century Danish Arts and Crafts mirror frame showcases the meticulous hand-carving and geometric detail characteristic of Danish decorative arts of the period. The frame’s design centers around a rhythmic, layered pattern of tilted squares, creating a dynamic sense of depth and texture. This repetitive motif exemplifies a skilled craftsman’s dedication to form and symmetry, while also capturing the artisanal spirit of the Arts and Crafts movement. The multiple layers of hand-carved squares create a striking visual effect, as each layer appears to build upon the next, drawing the viewer's eye inward. This effect not only emphasizes the depth of the frame but also introduces a play of light and shadow that changes as the perspective shifts. Each square is slightly angled, lending an organic quality to the otherwise geometric design and celebrating the beauty of the handmade through subtle variations and irregularities. The choice of material, likely a richly toned hardwood with a warm patina, enhances the frame’s handcrafted quality and adds a sense of weight and durability. This mirror frame is a refined example of Danish mid-19th-century artistry, embodying a harmonious blend of meticulous craftsmanship and design innovation, and offering a rare glimpse into the Danish Arts and Crafts movement’s commitment to artistry, functionality, and material integrity.

Frame Chestnut Hand-carved Unique For Diploma or College Border or Fon Mirror
Located in Mombuey, Zamora
It is a unique and very special piece. It is worth framing the diploma in any office or Desk, giving it a special status, far from the commercial framework, no matter how good it is, this is another level. Someone had this frame carved by a very virtuous master craftsman. It is made of chestnut wood and has a very exquisite carving, well carved, with great skill. It still preserves the pencil design of the master craftsman on the back On the back you can also see the mastery of the craftsman who made it. There are 4 parts made in the same piece, the strip and the carving that surrounds it. The mastery demonstrated, not only for aesthetics, but also for the difficulty of carving, chestnut wood being a rather hard wood. perfect finish Carved walnut wood frame with upper pompadour Perfect frame with the perfect size to put the university border or frame your university degree and hang it in your office It is a unique piece, carved by a master cabinetmaker or carver in Spain It is beautiful and its carving is fine, elegant and well made Due to its size and structure, it was surely carved with that intention, that of framing a title or graduation or a college border With a frame like this your title, border or even portrait, will give a distinguished, original and unique professional office touch It is a good opportunity to obtain a unique object, being as it is increasingly difficult to find master cabinetmakers who work with this fineness of wood.
