Gilt Shrine Wall Mirror

A dazzling display of intricate carvings and gilt lacquer, this fabulous wall mirror was originally an ornate shrine surround used to enclose a religious figure or shrine display. The elaborate frame is comprised of highly decorated wood panels, hand-carved and pierced with robed figures, lush foliage, and dense scrollwork. Perhaps originally part of a larger structure, the detailed carvings are finished with red lacquer and vibrant gilt pigments. We've updated the shrine surround with antique-finish mirror glass to become a truly one-of-a-kind wall mirror.
