AP Project - Bespoke Antique Bronze Mirrors create a stunning feature wall

The fully customised bronze ‪#‎antiquemirrors‬ create an outstanding feature wall, wonderfully complementing the black tones of the timber frames and luxurious surrounding gold wall paper.
The hand-crafted mirrors are bevelled and their corners shaped to fit the timber frames. The very large centre mirror was created in one piece only (1280x2600mm), fully bevelled thanks to beautifully executed hand-bevelling in the corners. Cut outs were made to house the wall lights.

The aesthetics & illumination of Dual-Finish Glass Partitioning™ using Filigree Glass™ etching

Glass is often a material of choice when creating partitioning. It lets light travel between the rooms and has much less wear and tear over time than most surfaces, especially when protected with the ClearShield Eco-System™, which keeps its surface easier to clean and keep clean.

But far beyond the practical benefits when setting out to separate areas, glass partitioning has huge potential to create stunning and dynamic interiors. Today we are exploring the aesthetics and illumination of the specialist & refined technique of Filigree Glass™ used within a Dual-Finish Partition™.


This exciting new and innovative technique is very versatile as it creates delicate and intricate or just minimalist and geometric patterns onto the surface of glass and mirrors. Overcoming the limitations of traditional stencils, designs are rendered in lines as thin as 1mm using cutting-edge technology.



The patterns come to life when back-illuminated creating a stunning effect for creative and modern interiors.

Patterns look incredible on a back-painted glass, in virtually any colour of your choice.



And work particularly well on mirror surfaces, which add a great sense of space and light to any room.



Dual Finish Glass Partitions™ create stunning partitioning that adapt to the specific design themes on either side of it. Laminate backpainted and mirror glass together to create very unique finishes on either side of the partition, with natural light still shining through and creating a very dynamic and unique effect on the glass.

Tea Trees & Cake Stands - Mandarin Oriental, London, UK

Alguacil & Perkoff supplied these exquisite and custom made Tea Trees & Cake Stands for traditional afternoon tea at The Rosebery, the Mandarin Oriental’s new tea room, Hyde Park, Knightsbridge. 



Located in one of London’s most fashionable destinations, they were conceived for the 5 star hotel by GA Design International and created in partnership with the Design Foundry. They required a creation that was elegant, modern, and provided a unique experience. 



Using a sketch from GA Design as their starting point, the development work carried out by our specialist partner included form, texture, finish and functionality. The Tea Trees were indeed required to be very stable, but also light enough to be easily moved by the staff. The Cake Stands, designed to resemble a cage, were required to hang gracefully but safely to avoid swinging.




The Tea Trees were sand cast and finished with a delicate texture and patina. The leaves have highlighted edges giving the elements an extra organic finish, movement and sensibility. The brass cake stands were also sand cast with a beautiful and unique texture before being nickel-plated. The mandarins hanging from the branches were cast in glass. 




 The result are stunning sculptural elements that each represent a piece of art in their own right, to the great satisfaction of the Mandarin Oriental and GA Design. GA Design went on to win the prestigious award of best Interior Design for CafĂ© Bar or All-Day Dining at the 2014 European Hotel Design Awards for the project.
