  • Notes from Sylvie:

    Each Faux Bamboo mirror is hand selected by Sylvie and may differ from exact shape and patina displayed in images. The mirrored glass is antique so blackened patina spots may be present in the mirror surface. Rest assured, we only select our favorites.

Despite the name, these mirrors aren’t made from real bamboo. Instead, artisans crafted the frames from oak, carefully shaping the wood to mimic bamboo stalks. The varnished finish lets the rich oak grain shine through, while the bamboo-inspired detailing adds an airy, organic feel. This is a Sylvie collector favorite, as these are becoming more rare as time goes by.

Avignon, a city steeped in history and has long been a jewel of Provence. Known as the seat of the Papacy during the 14th century, Avignon became a center of power and culture, leaving behind a legacy of stunning architecture, art, and craftsmanship. The city’s rich history is palpable in every stone of its ancient streets, where the past and present blend seamlessly.

The surrounding countryside, with its rolling vineyards, lavender fields, and quaint villages, has been a source of inspiration for artists and artisans alike. It is here, amidst the serene beauty of Provence, that our latest collection was unearthed.

From intricately carved stools to delicately crafted ceramics, each piece in this collection reflects the artistry and tradition of Avignon and its surroundings. Whether it’s a piece discovered in a centuries-old farmhouse or a find from a grand Provençal brocante, these items carry with them the spirit of Avignon.
