Exquisite
My Peruvian grandmother had a mirror very similar to this hanging in her entryway for decades. This is such a beautiful piece of craftsmanship that makes my home feel a bit more "homey" and the colors are gorgeous. Shipping was quick and the piece was carefully wrapped to ensure no damage. I'm so glad that I was able to find this instead of having to track down a similar mirror on a trip to Peru!
Stunning, though pinker than picture
The pictures of this item make it look like a color intermediate between purple and pink, however in person, under natural light, I would describe it as being redder/pinker and I would probably describe the color scheme as just pink, maybe with hints of purple. The top panel also looks white in natural light. As purple is my favorite color I'm a little bit disappointed in that, and yet despite that, it is really amazing work. Had I known what it would look like in natural light, it's possible that I'd have gone for "Cajamarca Splendor" by the same artists, which is a bold combination of secondary colors including purple. However, regardless, I am very happy that I have one of these cabinets, and this color scheme would have been one of my top two finalists for which one I wanted, regardless. I am very happy to have it; it is such a neat piece, and I am amazed that when you consider how much it would cost to ship this much glass from the Andes, they can offer it at this price.
