The figure pushing the cross-cut mirror is a round decorative mirror made of chamcha wood ornamented with a whimsical metal figure in a bronze finish. The Atlas collection, which reflects the ethos that Phillips collection personifies as modern organic has a storied namesake. In Greek mythology, Atlas was the titan god of endurance whom Zeus tasked with holding up the celestial heavens for eternity. We’ve taken a piece of chamcha wood that would have been one of nature’s castaways and made it into an elemental design statement. This piece is crafted from natural solid wood. Color and texture in wood will vary and natural holes and subtle openings add unique character to your piece. Wood "breathes" and it is normal for cracks to present themselves over time. This is not considered a defect.
