This handmade wooden convex mirror with a black frame is a striking statement piece that instantly draws the eye. The perfectly round shape feels beautifully balanced and works especially well above a fireplace, where it softens the straight lines of the mantelpiece and adds a playful yet elegant contrast. The deep black wooden frame gives the mirror a timeless, slightly dramatic character, while still blending effortlessly with both classic and contemporary interiors.

Convex mirrors have a long and fascinating history, and this piece proudly carries that story into your home. In Northern Europe, convex mirrors appeared in paintings and interiors as early as the Middle Ages. Their curved glass created a wide, almost magical reflection, making them both practical and intriguing. Over the centuries, these mirrors became known by different names, each reflecting their purpose. As the Butler’s Mirror, it allowed household staff to discreetly observe a room from a distance. In banks, it was called the Banker’s Mirror, used to keep a careful eye on daily activity.

The most poetic name is without doubt the Witch’s Eye. In the fifteenth century, people believed convex mirrors held protective powers. Hung near doors or windows, they were thought to watch over the home and reflect negative energy away. Families trusted these mirrors as silent guardians, always observing, always present. That sense of mystery and symbolism still lives on in the curved glass today.

Part of the Weldaad Collection, this black wooden convex mirror is handmade with care and respect for traditional craftsmanship. The frame is crafted from wood and finished in a deep black tone, giving it a sustainable and timeless appeal that will last for years to come. More than just a decorative wall mirror, this piece brings together history, folklore and artisanal skill. It reflects not only your interior, but also a centuries-old story of curiosity, protection and character, adding soul and depth to your home.
