The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Bamboo furniture and mirrors became highly popular during the late 19th century as part of the Aesthetic Movement and Japonisme trend. Western craftsmen imported natural bamboo or produced faux-bamboo carved wood to create decorative items inspired by East Asian design aesthetics.

Traditional bamboo mirrors were constructed using thick natural bamboo canes or stems mounted onto a timber carcass. The bamboo was often scorched or treated to create a tortoiseshell appearance before being mitred at the corners and fitted with mirror glass.

Authentic period pieces usually feature hand-moulded or hand-cut mitred joints, solid timber backing boards, and natural variations in the cane nodes. Evidence of dark scorched patination and historical foxing on the glass silvering also indicate age.

A bamboo mirror introduces organic texture and visual interest when placed against modern painted walls. It pairs effectively with botanical wall art, indoor foliage, or natural linen textiles to create a relaxed, layered decorative scheme.

Dust the bamboo frame regularly using a dry soft-bristled brush to clean around the nodes. Apply a light coat of natural clear beeswax occasionally to protect the cane from drying out, taking care not to let liquid cleaners touch the bamboo frame.
