Impressively sized and with a design specific to the African art of Zanzibar, the Zanzibar mirror frame is the result of the island’s most esteemed artist – Michael Mtungwa Shija.

The Zanzibar style of sculpture is special because it is found strictly on the island of Zanzibar, defined by a blend of cultures: Indian, African and Arabic, specific to Oman. And this frame brings together in symbolism, detail and size the grandeur of a genuine piece of African art.

It has taken a long time for mongongo wood to reach this form of perfection, and the value of this frame continues to rise even after it is purchased.

Because it permanently tells a story of quality, English refinement and African art that can be enjoyed endlessly by those who treasure it.
