Indian Lady Hand Mirror - Hand-Painted Wooden Mirror

Bengal's folk art has long found its subject in the everyday grace of women — captured mid-gesture, mid-thought, dressed in the bright reds, yellows, and deep outlines that define the region's painting traditions. This hand mirror carries that same spirit: a woman's portrait painted freehand across an oval wooden frame, rendered with the bold linework and warm palette associated with Bengal's figurative folk art. She isn't adorned with any single symbol or accessory — just presence, painted the way village artists have long painted the women around them, as central figures rather than background detail.

Each mirror is shaped from medium-density engineered wood and painted by hand, layer by layer, before being finished with a clear coat sealant that protects the artwork while keeping the brush texture visible up close. The process takes longer than machine printing, but it's the only way to keep every piece genuinely one-of-a-kind.

Its compact, handbag-friendly size makes it a practical everyday object as much as a decorative one, and it travels well as a gift — for Diwali, for a housewarming, for an NRI relative who wants a small, authentic piece of Indian folk art rather than a mass-produced souvenir.

Material: Medium density engineered wood, hand-painted and set in a clear coat sealant.
Dimensions: 10.3 cm diameter, 24 cm total length, 2.5 cm handle width.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the portrait on this mirror hand-painted?
Yes, entirely hand-painted by our artists — no printing or transfers are used.

Does it have a real mirror surface?
Yes, a genuine glass mirror is fitted into the hand-painted wooden frame.

Will my mirror look exactly like the photo?
Very close, but as a handmade piece, small variations in brushstroke and colour depth are natural and expected.

Can this be used daily, or is it only decorative?
It's built for daily use — the painted wood is sealed for protection, so it can travel in a bag or sit on a dresser without extra care.

How do I look after the paintwork?
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth only. Avoid water and prolonged direct sunlight, both of which can fade hand-painted surfaces over time.

Is this a good option for gifting?
Yes, it works well for festive gifting, housewarming visits, and as a thoughtful memento for NRI relatives or friends abroad.

Do you ship this internationally?
Yes, EthniiChic ships internationally; shipping cost and timelines for international orders are shared via email or WhatsApp.

What Indian folk art influences this style of portrait painting?
This piece draws from the figurative folk-painting traditions of Bengal, where bold outlines and warm colour palettes were traditionally used to depict women in everyday scenes and rituals.
