MARVELOUS PIECE OF ART

Product picture

I have been impressed with the style of the artist Flora Polo. Excellent color combination that has totally changed my family room to a colonial style. For that reason I bought more items from her collection and the collection of other Peruvian artists because they are professionals in the finishes and details. Thank you Novica for bringing these amazing products to the market.

Gifted this to my son

Product picture

I gifted this to my son who lived across the United States and I didn't see him often, but he had moved into a new home. When I saw it for the first time, I had forgotten it and I asked "where did you get that beautiful mirror?" Truly an outstanding piece of art work.

Colonial Mirrors

Veronica Ossio doesn’t take all the credit for her works. When she looks at one of her mirrors, made of Peruvian alabaster, she admires the details of nature’s stonework and its direct record of regional history. A colonial mirror from her not only captures the character of the time, but incorporates authentic relics from the period. In part of his effort to preserve Peruvian tradition, Edmundo Contreras makes colonial mirrors of this style, recognizing the fusion as a part of Peru’s history. He also uses techniques passed down and creates his hand painted mirrors by reverse painting. Those in the Nahuala Artisan Cooperative fashion colonial mirrors to improve their living conditions and maintain pride in their countries and themselves.
