About the Item

This Antique Giltwood Burmese Shrine Mirror, dating from the 19th century, showcases intricate craftsmanship characteristic of the region’s rich artistic heritage. The frame is adorned with a highly detailed giltwood crown, featuring traditional Burmese architectural elements such as floral motifs and stylized finials, evoking the grandeur of religious and ceremonial structures. The ornate top serves as a divine focal point, showcasing the region’s reverence for beauty and spirituality. While the original mirror was replaced at some point, the piece still retains its stunning gilt finish and fine details that enhance its historical significance. The rectangular mirror is framed by straight sides that contrast with the elaborately carved crown, adding a subtle balance to the ornate design. The golden gilt surface has developed a lovely patina over time, adding character and authenticity. This Burmese shrine mirror, with its blend of spiritual symbolism and opulent artistry, remains a striking and functional piece. It would make a bold statement in any space, offering a glimpse into Burmese culture while serving as a functional, decorative addition to an entryway, living room, or private collection. 78h x 29w x 3d
