Round mirror
This circular wall mirror, likely produced in Sweden during the 1960s, features a thick, round oak frame with a warm natural tone and visible vertical grain. The smoothly finished wood forms a continuous band around the glass, lending the piece a sculptural solidity. The mirror is suspended by a single leather strap that loops through a brass ring at the top, allowing it to hang from a single wall point. The leather strap is attached to the frame on each side with brass rivets, a detail that is both functional and decorative, reflecting the Scandinavian modernist emphasis on visible joinery and honest materials.
The combination of natural leather and solid oak aligns with core principles of Scandinavian mid-century design: functionality, craftsmanship, and material integrity. Though the designer is unknown, the construction and aesthetic are consistent with Swedish decorative arts of the period, where organic materials and restrained forms created warm, tactile household objects.
The mirror is in good vintage condition, showing minor wear on the leather strap and some aging on the brass fittings. The wood maintains an even finish without significant damage, and the glass is clean and intact.
Dimensions measure 39.5 cm wide, 4 cm deep, and 63.5 cm high including the strap, approximately 15.6 x 1.6 x 25 inches.
