Wallflower Mirror III

A composition in restraint and surface, the Wallflower Mirror III by John Richard arranges porcelain and polished brass around a beveled glass center with the quiet authority of a collected object rather than a manufactured one. At eighteen and a half inches tall, its proportions are intimate — scaled for the considered wall, the layered vignette, the room that rewards close attention. The hand-made finish ensures that no two pieces arrive identical, lending each mirror the subtle individuality of something made slowly and with intention. It is the kind of object that does not announce itself, yet proves impossible to overlook.
