Description
The Toamasina is a rectangular wall mirror with softly rounded corners, set in a deeply textured frame in an antique gold finish. It stands 100cm high and 70.5cm wide, a size that holds its own on a large wall and still sits comfortably over a sideboard or a chest of drawers. The frame is broad, so the glass sits well inside a band of worked surface rather than behind a thin edge, and that band does as much for the wall as the reflection itself. It belongs indoors, in a dry room.
Hang it over a console table in a hallway, above a fireplace in a living room or on a bedroom wall, where the gold frame catches lamplight and daylight and throws a little warmth back into the room. Because the frame carries so much texture, it suits a plain painted wall best: let the surface do the talking and keep what sits around it simple. It works in a period home with picture rails and cornicing as readily as in a newer flat that needs one piece with some character, and a mirror this size helps a narrow hall or a darker room feel lighter and more open.
The finish is antique gold, and close up the frame shows a pattern of short raised ridges and recesses, with paler, silvery tones settled into the hollows so the gold looks aged rather than bright. Along the top the marks run vertically, while down the sides they turn and run horizontally, which keeps the eye moving around the frame. At 6.78KG it is a substantial piece, best hung on a solid wall with fixings suited to that weight rather than a single picture hook. Give it a little space either side so the texture has room to breathe.
