Information

This rare and large mirror, designed by the renowned Josef Frank and produced by Svenskt Tenn in Sweden during the 1950s, is a prime example of Scandinavian modern design. The mirror’s tall, elongated rectangular shape with softly rounded corners creates a refined, timeless silhouette. The frame is made of solid brass, which over the years has developed a natural patina, enhancing its vintage character and giving the piece a warm, golden tone that reflects the passage of time.

Josef Frank, an Austrian-born architect and designer, was instrumental in shaping the direction of modern Scandinavian design. His work with Svenskt Tenn, a prestigious Swedish design company known for its exceptional craftsmanship, left a lasting impact on the design world. Frank’s approach to design was rooted in functionalism but always laced with understated sophistication. His mirrors, like this one, embody the perfect balance of practicality and elegance, making them not only functional pieces but also visually striking additions to any space.

The mirror is in good vintage condition, showing visible signs of age and use that align with its authenticity. These signs add to the charm of the piece, confirming its history and the high level of craftsmanship that went into its creation.

The dimensions of the mirror are 45 cm (17.7 inches) in width, 2 cm (0.8 inches) in depth, and 150 cm (59 inches) in height.
