Glas Mäster mirror

This mirror was produced by Glas Mäster in Markaryd, Sweden, during the 1950s. It is constructed with an oak frame, a brass rim, and a leather suspension strap. The round mirror is set within a narrow oak frame that displays a warm and even grain. The leather strap, which connects to a circular brass ring, serves both as a functional hanging mechanism and a defining design element, giving the mirror a distinctive Scandinavian mid-century character.

The materials are well preserved, with the oak frame showing a soft patina and the brass displaying a gentle, aged surface consistent with its vintage origin. The leather strap remains in good condition, contributing to the mirror’s originality and charm. Minor traces of use are present but do not detract from the overall appearance, adding to its authentic, lived-in quality.

Glas Mäster was known for its high-quality glasswork and for producing mirrors and lighting fixtures that combined craftsmanship with simple, functional design. This piece reflects the Scandinavian design principles of the period, emphasizing natural materials, clear geometry, and understated elegance.

The mirror measures 40 cm in width, 4 cm in depth, and 58 cm in height, which corresponds to approximately 15.7 x 1.6 x 22.8 inches. Its compact size and refined design make it suitable for use in an entryway, bathroom, or as part of a decorative arrangement in a living space.
