Information

This is a rare Swedish hand mirror produced during the 1950s, crafted from walnut with a brass wire detail. The mirror features a circular frame in solid walnut with a smooth, rounded profile, housing a clear glass mirror plate. Its handle is elongated and tapers elegantly to a point, with a distinctive section wrapped in finely coiled brass wire, creating a striking visual and tactile contrast to the wood.

The mirror is in good vintage condition, with minor signs of use and a warm patina that highlights the natural character of the materials. The walnut has a deep, even tone with subtle grain variation, and the brass wire has aged to a muted golden color, giving the piece additional depth.

Although the designer remains unknown, this mirror exemplifies the refined Scandinavian design sensibility of the mid-20th century, where function and materiality are elevated through carefully considered proportions and craftsmanship. The combination of wood and brass is typical of the period, reflecting an interest in natural materials and honest construction.

This piece represents a unique blend of utility and decorative value, making it suitable both as a practical everyday object and as an accent piece within an interior..
