The material
The wood for Avington comes from the Paulownia tree. It’s by far the fastest growing, deciduous hardwood in the world, and a single plantation can be harvested several times, offering a sustainable, renewable source of timber. You can read all about the Paulownia tree on our journal.
The finish
Our Avington mirrors have relatively deep frames, but adding the gilding to the inside edge as a stark contrast to the black-painted outer really highlights this detail and creates a strong look. We chose a pale champagne-gold gilding rather than a true gold or silver because we feel it has more subtlety and is neither very traditional nor very contemporary.
A styling tip or two
One of our very biggest mirrors, you can certainly hang this one on the wall if you have high ceilings, but we’d suggest that it’s best suited to being propped up. Even on the floor, it’ll be tall enough to see into, and will make a real statement but still feel quite relaxed.
