Torrent Mirror

The Torrent Mirror by John Richard commands a wall with the authority of a room's defining gesture — its beech wood frame finished in burnished silver casting a quiet luminosity that shifts with the light throughout the day. At over five and a half feet tall and nearly forty-one inches across, the scale is unambiguous, conceived for spaces that can hold a conversation at that level. The églomisé glass border, that ancient technique of gilding applied to the reverse of glass, lends the piece a depth and antiquarian richness that no surface treatment alone could approximate. This is a mirror that does not merely reflect a room — it completes one.
