The Hector Mirror celebrates the beauty of hand-worked materials, transforming leather into a richly textured decorative surface. Each folded leather element is individually shaped and secured with a small brass stud, creating a layered field that recalls petals, scales, or fragments gathered over time. Set within a warm wooden frame, the composition feels almost like a collector’s study of material and craft—where repetition, imperfection, and artistry come together to form something quietly extraordinary. Both tactile and sculptural, the piece reflects Maitland-Smith’s enduring appreciation for storied materials and the poetry of meticulous handwork.
