Set of 4 Reverse Painted Peruvian Folk Art Mirrors – Handmade
Collection of four reverse-painted folk art wall mirrors, each individually hand-painted on glass panels depicting lively Andean village scenes. The artwork features traditional houses with terracotta roofs, snow-capped mountain backdrops, lush greenery, and villagers in regional dress engaging in daily life—walking with donkeys, carrying goods, or conversing in the street. Figures are painted in vivid colors with strong black outlines, a hallmark of Andean reverse glass painting.
The glass panels are set within molded wooden frames finished in gold tones, each mirror having a distinctive shape—arched, circular, or diamond-like—creating visual variety when displayed together. One mirror retains its original maker’s label reading “Handmade in Peru” on verso. These pieces are functional mirrors as well as examples of Peruvian decorative art, ideal for adding cultural charm to any space.
