Description
The Toamasina is a round wall mirror held in a frame that is deliberately off-centre. Two broad arcs in a gold-toned metallic finish curve around the mirror. One rises higher on the left and the other steps out to the right, so the outline reads like a crescent caught mid-turn. The mirror itself sits slightly forward of the frame on a dark rim, which gives it a thin line of shadow and a sense of depth. It measures 59cm wide and 54cm high, a mid-sized piece that holds its own on a wall without crowding it.
We see it working best where a plain wall needs a focal point: above a console table in a hallway, over a sideboard in a living or dining room, or on a bedroom wall beside a chest of drawers. The warm gold tone sits comfortably with dark woods, deep greens and navy, and it lifts a scheme built around white or grey. Because the frame is so much wider than the mirror, it behaves as much like a piece of wall art as a looking glass. That suits anyone who wants a quick check before leaving the house and a shape that catches the eye from across the room.
The two arcs meet in a fine seam at the base. The brushed, slightly mottled surface has the look of gold leaf, with darker patches worked through it so it never appears flat. That variation is part of the finish, so the frame changes character as daylight moves around the room. At 1.98KG it is a manageable weight to lift into position while you hang it. As a practical first step, mark the full width and height on the wall with a few strips of masking tape, so you can judge the height and the breathing room either side before drilling.
