The Constellation Mirrors draw inspiration from the mesmerizing beauty of deep space, recreating swirling constellations and nebulae in hand-mirrored glass. Each piece is crafted using a unique technique developed by Tom Palmer, which combines palladium, a rare precious metal, with water to create dynamic, ethereal compositions. These mirrored surfaces are further enhanced by alternating layers of colored translucent resin and additional hand-silvering, resulting in reflections that evoke the mystery of far-off worlds.
Customizable to complement individual spaces, the Constellation Mirrors allow for tailored compositions of silvering and resin tones. As standard, they are framed in circular steel frames with a depth of 4 inches, available in a range of hot-metal finishes such as pewter, bronze, and brass.
Custom depths and rectangular frames are also possible, enabling the creation of singular works, triptychs, or bespoke arrangements.
