Mirror
This rectangular wall mirror, likely produced in France during the 1970s, features a saddle leather frame and brass fittings that closely evoke the equestrian aesthetic popularized by Hermès. The frame is wrapped with belt-style leather straps secured by functional brass buckles at each corner. The leather, in a warm cognac brown, shows visible wear and natural patina consistent with age and use, particularly around the edges and strap holes. The mirror is designed to hang from a leather strap looped through a central brass ring at the top, a detail reminiscent of horse tack that further reinforces the equestrian inspiration.
While the exact maker is unknown, the high-quality craftsmanship and attention to detail suggest French artisanal production. The style reflects mid-century luxury design, where refined leatherwork and metal accents elevated everyday objects into sophisticated decor. Though unmarked, the construction and design language strongly recall Hermès interiors and leather goods from the period.
The mirror is in good overall condition, with wear limited to the leather and no structural damage. The mirror glass remains clear and intact.
Dimensions are 43.5 cm wide, 4 cm deep, and 59 cm high, approximately 17.1 x 1.6 x 23.2 inches.
