Glas mäster table mirror
This rare table mirror was produced by Glas Mäster in Markaryd, Sweden, during the 1960s. The design is executed in brushed aluminium, giving it a cool, industrial aesthetic typical of Scandinavian modernism in the mid-20th century. The mirror is circular with a deep aluminium frame and is mounted on a simple, cylindrical stem and round base, resulting in a clean and geometric composition. The mirror is tiltable, allowing for functional adjustment, and the hardware connecting the mirror to the stand is visible, giving it a mechanical character that underscores the functionalist approach of the design.
The material choice of aluminium makes the piece lightweight yet sturdy, and its brushed finish gives it a soft sheen that catches light in an elegant way. The simplicity of the form and the precision of its construction reflect the Scandinavian ethos of combining utility and refined craftsmanship.
This example is in good vintage condition with minor signs of usage, such as small surface scratches and light wear, consistent with age. The aluminium retains a uniform finish and has been well-preserved, making it a strong representative of its type.
Dimensions are 32 cm wide, 20 cm deep, and 42 cm high (12.6 x 7.9 x 16.5 inches).
