Chinese-Style Solid Rosewood Mirror
About the Item
This Chinese mirror was made in Rangoon, Burma from rosewood and reverse-painted glass mirror. The thick rosewood frame is extremely heavy and carved in an exquisite bamboo stalk pattern. The mirror was part of a series of 7 mirrors that were placed near the entrance to a Chinese-Burmese home to bring good fortune on the household and delight visitors.
During the British Colonial period, many Chinese immigrated to Burma from Guangdong Province to work for the British. Many prospered, became merchants and eventually built luxurious compounds in the Chinese style. As transport was difficult and expensive, these houses and shops were furnished from abundant (and excellent) local materials, such as Teak, Rosewood, silk, and stone inlay. After 3 or 4 generations, many of these compounds are in disrepair and are difficult to sell to other buyers. Even ethnically Chinese buyers may prefer to live in a new house that has been optimized through Feng Shui to harmonize with the buyer.
