Glas Mäster mirror

This elegant round mirror, model no. 131, was produced by Glas Mäster in Markaryd, Sweden, during the 1950s. Crafted in solid brass, it embodies the restrained elegance and functional beauty characteristic of Scandinavian mid-century design.

The mirror’s circular form is enclosed within a narrow brass frame, whose simple geometry is enhanced by a natural patina that has developed over time. This subtle ageing not only adds depth and texture to the piece but also highlights the high quality of the materials and craftsmanship. The clean, unadorned silhouette reflects the era’s emphasis on utility and timeless aesthetics — qualities that allowed such mirrors to integrate seamlessly into both domestic and public interiors of the period.

Glas Mäster, known for its refined metal and glasswork, was part of a generation of Swedish manufacturers that combined artisanal methods with modernist principles. Their work often emphasised high-quality materials and enduring construction, and this piece is a clear example of that tradition. Its understated presence makes it versatile — suitable for use in an entryway, bedroom, or bathroom — while its patinated brass frame adds a layer of warmth and historical authenticity to any interior.

The mirror remains in good vintage condition with signs of age consistent with its history.
