About
This circular wall mirror by Bark Frameworks was designed by rotating the base of a Doric column 90 degrees. The frame, created in the 1990s, was made from solid purpleheart wood -- a dense and rare species that becomes a deep chocolate purple as it ages. The mirror is water white (low iron) glass with a 1-inch bevel. In the years since this original design was made, purpleheart wood has become rare due to over-harvesting, so we now offer this mirror in a variety of other woods (walnut, maple, ash, red birch, and mahogany among them) with virtually any stain or finish.
Please note: Because every mirror we make is finished by hand, there will be slight variations in the finish -- each mirror is wholly unique. Customization available upon request.
Additional Options

About The Maker
Bark Frameworks
View ProfileEstablished in 1969, Bark Frameworks designs and produces frames for artwork and mirrors. Our commitment to innovative design is visible in every mirror frame we create.
A Bark Frameworks mirror is a unique object. Every Bark frame is custom made at our 27,000-square-foot facility in Long Island City by craftspeople who have honed their skills for years, sometimes decades. Our LIC shop -- which houses two showrooms, design and art preservation studios, a wood shop, a metal shop, and a gilding studio – allows us to offer clients nearly-endless customization options for mirrors when it comes to size, material, and finish.
In addition to our own original profiles, the frame designs of Edgar Degas inspired some of our mirror frames. After company founder Jared Bark researched the artist’s notebooks firsthand in Paris in the 1990s, we decided to build many of these never-before-produced frames. Now, these once-radical designs add elegance to any interior.
