I bought it for a gift and they will love it, beautiful quality.
Apollon French Provincial Horse Head Bust, Distressed White Sculpture on Pedestal Base 37cm




A tall arched window mirror in warm honeyed timber, the bones of an old French chapel window pulled into the wall, a dramatic architectural piece that reads more like a found object than a manufactured mirror.
The Mathieu stands at 158 cm tall and 86 cm wide, designed as a wall-mounted statement piece that turns a flat wall into a focal point. Its arched silhouette is built from natural fir timber in warm honey tones, the outer edge softly distressed with chalky whitewash worn back to expose the grain beneath. A slim black iron centre rod runs the full height of the piece, dividing it into two glazed panels, the look of an old French double-window pulled from a salvaged farmhouse.
The multi-pane glass reflects natural light back into the room and creates the illusion of a real window where there isn't one. A natural fit for entryways, dining rooms, hallways, and grand bedrooms, and a perfect counterpoint to a flat or featureless wall that needs architecture.

The Mathieu pairs beautifully with raw, natural materials, leather, linen, stone, dried botanicals. A few of our favourite ways to style:
Stylist's Tip The Mathieu's natural timber is the warm anchor in a neutral room, let it sit against a soft white, limewashed, or muted grey wall and let the grain do the talking. No bold colour required.
Display indoors only, away from direct moisture and prolonged direct sunlight. Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth, clean the glass with a slightly damp microfibre, taking care not to soak the timber frame. The natural raw timber finish means the wood is more sensitive to moisture than a sealed or painted piece, keep wet cloths and chemical cleaners well away from the frame. Small variations in grain, knot detail, distressed paintwork along the edges, and iron oxidation are part of the piece's character. For safe wall-mounting, ensure your fixings are appropriate for the 16 kg weight and ideally fixed into a wall stud.
The Mathieu is designed to be wall-mounted. As the piece weighs 16 kg, we strongly recommend fixing into a wall stud or using heavy-duty hollow-wall anchors rated to support at least double the weight of the mirror. We recommend a qualified handyperson for installation, particularly if you're not confident locating wall studs.
The Mathieu's frame is finished to retain the natural look of raw fir timber, it is not heavily varnished or sealed. This means the timber is more sensitive to moisture and direct sunlight than a sealed piece. Display indoors in a dry, well-ventilated room, and keep cleaning to a soft dry dust only.
The slim black iron centre rod is a fixed structural feature, it divides the arch into two glazed panels for that authentic double-window detail. The mirror is supplied as a single ready-to-hang piece.
We recommend indoor use only. The natural raw timber frame is not sealed or weather-rated, and sustained moisture or humidity will warp the timber and lift the distressed paintwork over time. A dry, well-ventilated room is ideal.
The Mathieu is a natural fit for French country, French Provincial, rustic farmhouse, European cottage, and Hamptons interiors. Its natural timber and architectural form also work beautifully in industrial-cottage and modern rustic spaces where raw materials and salvage-style pieces are central to the look.
Yes, slightly. Each Mathieu is hand-finished, and small variations in the timber grain, knot detail, distressed paintwork along the edges, and iron oxidation are natural. These are not faults; they're part of the piece's character and the reason no two are identical.
Because the Mathieu is hand-finished, slight variations in grain, knot detail, distressed paintwork, and iron oxidation are natural and add to the unique character of each piece. Colour may also vary slightly between screens, all photography is taken in natural light.
