celebration of South Africa’s extraordinary botanical heritage, the Cape Fynbos Beaded Mirror transforms the distinctive flora of the Cape into an intricate work of art.
Meticulously handcrafted with thousands of tiny glass beads, the sculptural frame comes alive with an abundant arrangement of indigenous-inspired blooms, foliage and winding stems. Vibrant pincushion proteas in fiery reds and golden yellows are balanced by softly beaded white proteas, delicate buds and layers of richly textured greenery. Every flower and leaf is individually formed, creating remarkable dimension and a sense of movement around the mirror.
The composition extends beyond the traditional frame, with botanical elements growing organically upward and outward and crossed stems providing an unexpected finishing detail at the base. The extraordinary intricacy of the beadwork rewards a closer look, revealing the individual beads, wirework and subtle variations inherent to its handmade construction.
Part functional mirror, part botanical sculpture, the Cape Fynbos Beaded Mirror brings the color, craftsmanship and natural beauty of South Africa into the interior.
In South Africa, sourcing beads in perfectly consistent colours can be a challenge. While we do our best to ensure uniformity, slight variations in shade may occur between batches. Each item is carefully handmade and completely bespoke, so you can expect subtle differences in size and design—adding to the uniqueness and character of every piece.
