Teak Oval Cheval Mirror with Two Drawer Base

The Onyx Top

The top is one slab of onyx, green and brown running into cream, with the veins going right through so the cut edge shows the same pattern as the face. No 2 slabs come out alike, so the one in the photo is the one you get only if you are buying this exact piece, otherwise yours will have it's own pattern and you should ask us for a photo of it before it ships.

Onyx is cold to the hand even in May, which sounds like nothing till you rest your wrist on it in a Jodhpur summer. It takes the jewellery box and the 15 bottles without a mark. Nail polish remover and perfume both dull the surface if they sit, so wipe it the same minute.

The Old Finish

The frame and the base are painted a chalky cream and rubbed back on purpose, so the wood shows through at the edges and along the carving. That wear is put on in the workshop and it means a scratch from a bangle or a dropped bottle disappears into it. Dry cloth only. No polish, no spray cleaner, no wet wiping, all 3 will lift the paint.
