Italian mirror
This large wall mirror, produced in Italy during the 1950s, exemplifies the refined industrial aesthetic characteristic of mid-century Italian design. The mirror is framed by a sleek nickel-plated steel structure featuring an arched top and a notably deep profile. The minimalist form emphasizes clean lines and architectural precision, with the substantial metal frame extending outward to create a pronounced sense of depth and presence when mounted.
Italian mid-century design is distinguished by innovative use of metals and a balance between boldness and elegance. The choice of nickel-plated steel paired with the restrained, sculptural shape of this mirror aligns closely with the era’s focus on combining functionality with visual impact. Although the designer remains unknown, the construction quality and material selection reflect the high standards typical of Italian craftsmanship from this period.
The mirror is preserved in vintage condition, showing a natural patina and signs of age on the frame that contribute to its authenticity and character. The glass surface displays minor oxidation spots consistent with its age, further underscoring its vintage provenance.
Measuring approximately 100 centimeters in width, 9 centimeters in depth, and 175 centimeters in height (39.4 by 3.5 by 68.9 inches), the mirror commands a substantial presence suitable for a variety of interior settings seeking a bold yet refined statement piece.
