Pressed tin ceiling tiles originated in the 1880s as an affordable way for people to dress up a room's ceiling. They were meant to emulate high-end decorative plaster. The gorgeous ceiling tiles have been re-used as the frame of this mirror. Due to the age of the tiles used the paint is cracked and chipped exposing the tin in some areas adding wonderful character.¬â€
The tin tile pattern and colour of the frame will vary from mirror to mirror as these are handmade unique items.¬â€
The foot panels were originally stamped out of steel and called "steel ceilings." It wasn't until later, that the raw steel panels were plated in tin to help slow down rusting.
Size : 59cm x 59cm
Note the inside tin edging is a bit sharp so be careful on handling. ¬â€

About us
Our green adventures started back in 2009 when we moved into a garden flat in East London. We renovated a Japanese and Italian water garden from it's overgrown past but with no prior garden experience we got stuck into the books and learned everything there was to know about pruning shrubs and planting. After the first year tidying the space up we were asked by a friend to join The National Garden Scheme. The scheme recognises gardens of quality and raises money for charity. It was a scary prospect of opening the garden to the scrutiny of the public. So we opened up for the first time and it was so exciting, we received some great positive feedback and some helpful tips from the seasoned gardeners! Subsequently, we opened our garden every year.
