The frame is defined by a pronounced arched opening, its form articulated through a sequence of cusped curves beneath a layered frieze of carved bands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1416\" data-start=\"1061\"\u003eAbove, a rhythmic field of scrolling foliate carving runs horizontally, contained within a structured border that introduces a subtle architectural order. Below, the carving becomes more expressive. Stylised fish motifs emerge clearly within the arch, interwoven with leaf forms and flowing lines, giving the surface a more symbolic and narrative quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1798\" data-start=\"1418\"\u003eThe vertical elements are deeply worked and column-like in their treatment, reinforcing the sense of weight and structure. Across the whole surface, the carving sits in varying depths, catching light unevenly and revealing the hand behind its making. Tool marks, slight irregularities, and tonal variation in the timber contribute to a surface that feels active rather than fixed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2040\" data-start=\"1800\"\u003eThe mirror plate is a later addition, set within what was likely once part of a larger architectural element. As a carved wooden mirror, it retains that origin — less a purely decorative object, more a fragment of a wider interior language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2040\" data-start=\"1800\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRead more about \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/campbellvintage.co.uk\/blogs\/news\/antique-indian-carved-mirror-indo-islamic-style\" title=\"Read more about Indo-Islamic carved mirrors and their architectural origins\"\u003eIndo-Islamic carved mirrors\u003c\/a\u003e and their architectural origins\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-end=\"1666\" data-start=\"1663\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"1694\" data-start=\"1668\" data-section-id=\"pdrbam\"\u003eDimensions (approx.)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1726\" data-start=\"1695\"\u003eHeight: 186cm\u003cbr data-end=\"1712\" data-start=\"1709\"\u003eWidth: 93.5 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1726\" data-start=\"1695\"\u003eDepth: 9cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-end=\"1731\" data-start=\"1728\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"1763\" data-start=\"1733\" data-section-id=\"1e9y8zp\"\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1863\" data-start=\"1764\"\u003eHardwood frame with hand-carved detail.
