Information

This rare mirror in leather and teak was produced by Glas & Trä Hovmantorp in Sweden during the 1950s. It features a finely crafted circular teak frame suspended by a slim strap of brown leather, a design that epitomizes the Scandinavian mid-century balance between craftsmanship, natural materials, and minimalism.

The teak frame is elegantly rounded and smoothly finished, revealing the rich grain and warm tone characteristic of Scandinavian woodworking of the period. The leather strap, aged to a soft patina, adds both a tactile contrast and functional simplicity, allowing the mirror to hang with a gentle, organic presence on the wall.

This type of mirror reflects the design sensibility that defined Swedish postwar interiors — a focus on timeless proportions, honest materials, and the subtle interplay between wood and leather. Its modest scale and refined details make it versatile for a range of interior settings, from entryways to living spaces or bedrooms.

The piece remains in good vintage condition with only minor signs of wear, preserving its authentic character and material integrity.

Dimensions are 51 cm wide, 4.5 cm deep, and 84 cm high (20.1 x 1.8 x 33.1 in)
