Handcrafted in Italy

Large, wide and bold: the Romano mirror in antique gold combines a clean modern design with a warm, handcrafted gold finish. The generous 14 cm wide wooden frame and its sharp, clean lines give Romano a strong presence, while the antique gold adds warmth and character.

Romano is handcrafted in Italy to museum-quality standards. The wooden mirror frame is first completely made to size and assembled. Only when the entire frame has been completed does the colouring process begin. This means that the corners and mitre joints receive the same finish as the rest of the frame and the mitre joints are fully coloured.

For the antique gold finish, the complete wooden frame is covered by hand with gold-leaf imitation metal by experienced Italian artisans. The extremely thin metal leaves are applied individually to the already assembled frame. This traditional and labour-intensive technique gives the frame its distinctive depth and rich appearance.

After the gold-leaf imitation metal has been applied, the frame is patinated by hand. This creates the characteristic antique gold colour with subtle variations between lighter and darker gold tones. The patina accentuates the shape of the wide profile and gives each Romano an authentic handcrafted appearance.

It is precisely the combination of the clean modern design and warm antique gold that makes Romano so distinctive. The mirror looks beautiful in a modern interior where gold is used as a warm accent, but combines equally well with classic, country-style or luxurious hotel interiors.

With its 14 cm wide frame, Romano has an impressive presence and is particularly suitable for larger rooms and generous dimensions. As a large wall mirror in a living room or hallway, Romano becomes a striking feature without appearing overly decorative.

Romano is also particularly attractive as a narrow, tall full-length mirror. In this version, the wide antique gold frame is beautifully emphasised, making it ideal for a hallway, bedroom, dressing room or walk-in wardrobe. Smaller versions are frequently chosen as a bathroom mirror or cloakroom mirror.

In addition to our standard sizes, Romano Antique Gold can be made entirely as a bespoke mirror. The dimensions and proportions can be adapted to the available space, from a smaller wall mirror to a generous full-length mirror or an impressive statement piece for an open space.

Gold-leaf imitation metal
The complete wooden frame is covered by hand with gold-leaf imitation metal only after it has been fully assembled. The thin metal leaves are carefully applied to the wooden surface, following the corners and the wide profile of the frame.

Patinated by hand
After the gold-leaf imitation metal has been applied, the frame is patinated by hand. The patina gives the gold its warm, subtly aged appearance and creates delicate variations in colour and additional depth.

Fully coloured mitre joints
The wooden frame is first completely constructed and assembled and only then coloured and finished. As a result, the corners and mitre joints are fully incorporated into the antique gold finish and the mitre joints are fully coloured.

Traditional craftsmanship
Every Romano Antique Gold mirror is handcrafted and finished in Italy. Applying the gold-leaf imitation metal and creating the patina are traditional processes that give the mirror its characteristic appearance.

First constructed, then coloured
The wooden mirror frame is first completely made to size and assembled. Only then does the handcrafted colouring and finishing process begin. This is an important difference compared with frames where the individual mouldings are coloured before assembly.

Traditional Italian technique
The gold-leaf imitation metal is applied by hand to the fully assembled frame. The gold is then patinated by hand to create the characteristic antique gold appearance.

Fully finished corners
Because the frame is coloured only after it has been assembled, the corners and mitre joints form part of the same finishing process. As a result, the mitre joints are fully coloured.

A handcrafted mirror
From making the wooden frame and applying the gold-leaf imitation metal to creating the final patina, every stage is carried out by hand and carefully finished according to traditional Italian craftsmanship.

With its 14 cm wide frame, Romano is particularly suitable for large bespoke mirrors. A generously sized Romano in antique gold on a large wall immediately adds warmth and character to a living room, hallway, bedroom, dressing room or other open space.

For a full-length mirror, a narrow and tall proportion can be chosen. The wide gold frame creates a strong surround for the mirror glass and makes the mirror an integral part of the interior. The clean design also remains beautifully balanced in smaller sizes, for example as a bathroom mirror or cloakroom mirror.

The combination of bespoke dimensions, Italian craftsmanship and a hand-applied antique gold finish makes every Romano a distinctive mirror. The clean design remains modern, while the gold-leaf imitation metal and hand-applied patina provide warmth, depth and character.
