"What color is the edging/piping on the mirror? I can't tell if it's silver toned."
The appearance and the unique design of the mirror is beautiful. I had a difficult time trying to decide between this one and another one. The choice I had to make was the color.

Story Behind the Art:
My art strives to be a testimony to history and tradition..One of my proudest moments was receiving the Vizcardo & Guzmán Medal as a master artisan, awarded by the Peruvian Congress. Born in Apurimac in 1965, Edmundo Contreras Aquise works in the andahuaylino (Andahuaylas) style. He uses painted glass and crackled finishes in a technique that is both traditional and modern. His motifs range from the pre-Hispanic, colonial, and ethnic to the beauty and culture of the Andean world and its wildlife. I inherited my interest in art from my mother, a weaver, he says. As an adolescent, I enjoyed painting and liked to create cartoons as a form of social protest (when terrorists threatened our land). In this way I represented those difficult moments when students and country people faced danger from two fronts. I learned a great deal from my companions in a craft workshop taught by Amilcar AndÃa, a gentleman from Andahuaylas. One of my friends was Juan QuintÃn, a painter, and another was Reinaldo Rivera, who had graduated from the School of Fine Arts. From them I learned a great deal, and through practice, I discovered more techniques. My art strives to be a testimony to history and tradition. With the danger of extinction of certain art forms, I represent them in hand-painted wood, glass and ceramic. These take the form of objects that are utilitarian and decorative, such as home furnishings, mirrors, vases and more. I've exhibited my work at arts and crafts fairs, and in 1995 took first place in the Concurso Internacional para América Latina y el Caribe, winning the UNESCO Prize. One of my proudest moments was receiving the Vizcardo & Guzmán Medal as a master artisan, awarded by the Peruvian Congress in 2002.My dream is for my art to be known and appreciated outside my country.

Loved it but...
Although I was extremely pleased with the workmanship of this item and it's overall beauty, to call this item "sky blue" I find to be somewhat misleading. The mirror I received is definately more "turqoise blue." Is the color differentiation enough for me to return the mirror? Absoluely not. Overall, this is an extremely well crafted and beautiful mirror, I will just have to find a different room to put it in than originally planned.

WOW. Simply wowed.
I concur with all the 5 star reviews of this mirror. It is beautiful, and well worth price. I splurged on this mirror for our new house and its beauty and quality exceeded my expectations. When my husband opened the box (it was packaged perfectly btw) he was taken by surprise by the mirror's appearance. He is never interested in the decorative pieces I buy but this (and another mirror I bought from Overstock) impressed him. I am now thinking of buying another of these Novica artisan mirrors from this site. The are a work of art for your home.
