repousse - Anything In Particular https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/product-tag/repousse/ From antique to vintage, from decorative to downright bizarre.

It would add a hefty dose of glamour despite its relatively small size. The irregular hexagon shape contains several different panels featuring flower and leaf patterns in high relief and textured triangular sections. The mirror itself is clean and clear with a subtle bevel. The bevel is just about the only subtle thing about this piece!

The mirror is wood backed with an imprint "Made In England" which is slightly surprising as these repousse styles were commonly European. The back has one fairly large scratch but this obviously doesn't affect the use of it.

The surround has signs of use and wear, as one would expect, but these don't detract from the overall appearance in any way. At some point the wall fixings were removed, leaving two small holes in the surround but these are hard to spot - probably because your eyes are dazzled by the thing!  The mirror measures 13cm by 18cm (5 in by 7 in) and the surround measures 36cm by 29cm (14 in by 11¼ in).

]]> Vintage Aluminium Tray with Pine Cone Design https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/product/vintage-aluminium-tray-pine-cone-design/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=vintage-aluminium-tray-pine-cone-design Mon, 06 Nov 2017 19:55:32 +0000 https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/?post_type=product&p=1273 A very striking vintage aluminium tray with interesting fluted and scalloped edges and a relief pine cone design (a series of, six in total), impressed from underneath in a repoussé style. We're unsure of its precise age, but it would be reasonable to think it's over 50 years old, due to its material, construction, styling, and similarity to other items of that age. It may also have been made in Canada, as many of these similar items are.

In terms of condition, this tray has surface marks and scratches from use but no deformations to its shape. The wear and tear is not significant taken as a whole - it still looks good in context. The underneath is more heavily scratched but that's to be expected for a tray of this age and material. There is no maker's stamp or label.

The tray measures approximately 34 cm by 22 cm by 1.5 cm (11½in by 8¾in by ¾in).
