Framed pressed-flower mirror, Village Green Country Crafts

About this piece

Oval mirror set into a printed mount with pressed-flower spray, signed "Cienwin" and labelled Village Green Country Crafts, 38 × 33 cm, weight about 1120 g.

A framed pressed-flower mirror, labelled Village Green Country Crafts, Hallaton, Leicestershire. The oval mirror sits within a cream printed mount and is decorated with a cluster of pressed flowers and foliage arranged to one corner, signed "Cienwin" beneath the spray. The composition has a quiet, folk-craft charm and the natural petals add a warm, organic touch to the small mirror. It can be wall mounted or stands upright. The frame has a mottled, burr-like painted finish that picks up the warm tones of the flowers. The original paper label remains on the back and there is some tape and adhesive residue to the verso. The piece would sit well on a hall wall, above a dressing table, or as a gift for someone who collects pressed-flower or country-craft work.
