The Lilac Bloom: A Symphony of Pastel and Gold in Reverse Painted Glass

Transform your walls with the Lilac Bloom Antiqued Mirror, a piece that captures the soft light and storied artistry of the Peruvian highlands. Crafted by Asunta Pelaez, an expert in the colonial-era art of vidrio pintado por el revés, this mirror is a sophisticated exploration of color and historical texture.

The Meticulous Art of Reverse Painting The frame’s captivating depth is achieved through a painstaking process where the artist paints directly onto the back of the glass panels. Working in reverse—applying the fine lilac-undertoned details of the petals first and the background last—Asunta Pelaez creates a vibrant botanical tapestry protected forever behind the glass. The “weathered illusion” is masterfully created using aged gold hues, giving the mirror the soulful character of a centuries-old heirloom.

Ethereal Palette and Precision Craft Measuring 9.75 inches in height, this mirror features a unique color story: soft white blossoms with delicate lilac undertones that pop against the richness of the gilded accents. The hand-painted glass panels are set into a durable MDF base for structural integrity, ensuring the delicate motifs remain secure. Because each mirror is handcrafted, the specific floral patterns and gold-leaf distressing vary slightly, making every piece a unique expression of the artisan’s vision.

A Legacy of Peruvian Heritage By choosing the Lilac Bloom, you are preserving a rare artistic tradition that dates back to the Spanish colonial era in Lima. This mirror serves as more than a functional object; it is a luminous window into the artistic history of Peru. Whether hung as a standalone statement or paired with other global accents, it reflects a deep appreciation for artisanal excellence and refined, timeless style.
