Price History
Description
Designed by Matthew Hilton for De La Espada, the large 392L. R Coniston Round Mirror boasts a Danish oiled walnut frame. A pared-back design defined by beautiful joinery and quality materials, the Coniston Mirror looks striking whether it’s hung horizontally or vertically. The design itself is named after Coniston Water in England's Lake District, with the land that surrounds the lake being reimagined through the mirror’s timber frame.
Our Stylist Says
I love the simplicity and craftsmanship of this round mirror; its natural wood frame adds warmth and a touch of organic design that works well in both contemporary and Scandi-inspired interiors. It’s an versatile piece that can be used as a focal point in entryways, above fireplaces, or in bedrooms to create a sense of space and light. For styling tips, consider pairing it with minimal accessories for a clean look, or surround it with other natural textures like rattan or linen to enhance a relaxed vibe. Hanging it at eye level or slightly higher will maximise impact and reflect light effectively, making smaller spaces feel brighter and more open.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
