Ribbon Knot by Christopher Guy sets an intricate decorative knot against the clean surface of an unframed rectangular mirror. The distinction between those two elements gives the piece its character. We would keep the surrounding scheme similarly measured, allowing the ribbon detail to draw attention without filling the wall with ornament. It is a useful approach when a room needs something expressive above a chest or console, but the overall feeling should remain composed.
Three supplied sizes are available: 51 by 87 cm, 61 by 104 cm and 71 by 121 cm, given as width by height. The finishes are Renaissance Gold Leaf, Italian Silver and Tabac. We would select the finish in relation to the furniture below and the other details seen in the reflection. Custom sizes and finishes are available on request, allowing the proportions to be discussed for a particular wall or piece of furniture.
In a bedroom, we would place Ribbon Knot above a dressing chest and pair it with a plain upholstered stool. In an entrance hall, a narrow console and a carefully chosen small bowl for everyday essentials would keep the arrangement useful. We would also consider it above a sitting room side table, where the reflected light and ribbon motif could add interest beside a simple curtain. The rectangular glass gives a clear centre to these smaller compositions.
We would check the complete outline, including the knot, when measuring the wall. Its relationship to cornicing, a nearby picture or the top of a lampshade matters as much as the glass itself. Before hanging, ask the installer to confirm the wall construction and appropriate fixing method. We would obtain the recommended care guidance for both mirror and decorative finish. Estimated delivery is 18–20 weeks; discuss custom requirements with us before the order is confirmed.
