The Mirror Effect of Talavera
July 10, 2015
Mexico has long been renowned for its beautiful and uniquely original tin mirror frames. Now, add to that an amazing combination of Talavera Tiles designs. We are honored and pleased as a company to say that La Fuente Imports can now offer the largest selection available anywhere on the web!
Each frame is hand made by artisan families in the stunning colonial cities of central Mexico. The artisans are meticulous in the way they select and place each of hand painted tile in the frames. Whether natural or oxidized, the highly artistic and decorative designs featured on these pages reflect the strong traditions and expert craftsmanship of the artists.
From the traditional framed rectangle mirror adorned with a selective array of hand painted Talavera Tiles to the round and octagonal styles, these unique mirrors are second to none.
Most mirrors are available in various sizes with your choice of a natural (silver) or oxidized (metallic brown) finish, and many can be hung vertically or horizontally. They combine rich Mexican design with modern functionality to create the perfect home accent for Southwestern living. These incredible designs are also welcome in your outdoor space as well, after all why not make the outdoor spaces look like part of your inside space. No matter where they go, they will soon become the piece that makes your space feel like home.
Beyond just their functionality, these beautiful additions to your décor' will inspire the rest of your room design depending on the color palette you pull from the multitude of colors represented in each variation of color within each detailed tile design.
Other variations in this collection of styles, shapes and colors are their unique accents, such as the embossed tin (flower, filigree or colored tile) accent corner piece.
For a new and unusual twist, you can also use the smaller or round mirrors as a table top or decorative serving tray. Just use your imagination.
