(3) Reverse Painted Peruvian Folk Art Mirrors – Handmade in Peru
Collection of three reverse-painted Peruvian folk art wall mirrors, each created using the traditional verre églomisé technique in which scenes are painted on the back of glass for a luminous finish. The vibrant panels depict Andean village life — figures in traditional dress, llamas and sheep, adobe homes, musicians, and bustling marketplaces — all set against mountainous backdrops. Bold black outlines and rich, saturated colors capture the warmth and cultural vibrancy of rural Peru. Two mirrors retain their original “Handmade in Peru” labels, underscoring authentic artisan craftsmanship.
Each mirror is framed in a gold-toned wooden arch with segmented panels that tell different aspects of the story, surrounding a central reflective panel. Ideal for rustic, bohemian, or eclectic interiors, these pieces also reflect a collectible artisan tradition seen in Peruvian folk art markets and museum collections.
Condition:
Good overall, with slight wear to the gold-toned finish. Painted glass panels remain bright and intact, with no cracks. Mirrors are clear and reflective.
Dimensions:
Small: 8 x 6 in.
Medium: 11.5 x 8 in.
