Mirror
This oval mirror, produced in Sweden by an unknown designer, is a finely crafted piece that reflects the mid-century Scandinavian embrace of natural materials and understated, functional beauty. Made from woven rattan, the mirror’s frame exhibits a warm, earthy tone and an organically textured surface, emphasizing handwoven detailing and artisanal skill.
The rattan is arranged in smooth, concentric layers, enhancing the frame’s depth and creating a subtle play of light and shadow. The structure is well-proportioned, with an elongated oval shape that softens the overall silhouette, lending it a relaxed and approachable appearance. The mirror can be mounted in either a vertical or horizontal orientation, allowing for versatile placement in a variety of interior settings—ideal for entryways, bathrooms, or bedrooms where its tactile surface and natural aesthetic provide a warm accent.
The condition of the piece is excellent vintage. The rattan frame shows minimal signs of wear, with no visible breaks or unraveling. It retains its structural integrity and warm tone. The mirror glass itself is clean and clear, free from chips, scratches, or clouding, offering full reflective functionality.
Measuring 31 cm in width, 4 cm in depth, and 41 cm in height (12.2 x 1.6 x 16.1 inches), the mirror is modestly sized, suitable for both decorative and practical use. Though unsigned, it stands as a timeless expression of Scandinavian organic modernism—celebrating simplicity, natural texture, and quiet elegance through a durable and charming form.
