Guatemala's Valenzuela Family designs a wall mirror with an elegant vintage style. "For this mirror we found our inspiration in the Baroque architecture of some of our monuments and churches, which date back to Colonial times," the artisans explain. Like a timeless wreath, the frame is carved of natural conacaste wood.

A work of graceful elegance, this mirror frame exalts the beauty of nature and classic styles. Guatemala's Valenzuela Family carve the frame of conacaste wood, expertly highlighting the wood's natural grain.

"The story of Doña Beatriz, the first ever woman governor in Latin America inspired us to design this wall mirror," the Valenzuela Family explains. They work with conacaste wood, shaping the frame like a highly ornate arched window.

Known for her beauty and elegance, Doña Beatriz was the wife of the then governor, Don Pedro de Alvarado. When he died in 1521 she became the governor of Santiago de Guatemala – today Iximche. When the Volcan de Agua erupted, it created a powerful avalanche of mud, trees and stones which destroyed the city. Doña Beatriz was found dead in a chapel holding her five year old daughter and a crucifix.

The perfect way to bring some vintage vibes into your space. The Valenzuela Family hand-carves this mirror's ornate floral frame from local guanacaste wood and finishes it in a deep coffee varnish. Add it to your living room wall gallery or pair it with your vanity table for a seriously elegant look. Adriana Valenzuela started the family's workshop alongside her husband. She continues running the workshop after his death and has grown it to employ local artisans in it.
