Mirror
This is a rectangular brass mirror featuring a thin, slightly patinated frame with softened, rounded corners and a decorative flourish at the top. The mirror’s proportions are vertically oriented, emphasizing height and lending it a refined presence suitable for hallways, bathrooms, or dressing areas. The design is restrained and linear, with a gently curved ornamental crest that introduces a stylized Art Deco flourish without compromising the mirror’s overall simplicity.
The brass frame has aged naturally, developing a subtle patina that reinforces the vintage character of the piece. Signs of oxidation and surface irregularities are visible and consistent with the mirror’s age, indicating authentic wear and use over time. The glass is in good condition, with no visible cracks or major blemishes, though slight clouding and age-related wear may be expected.
The mirror exemplifies characteristics of early 20th-century Art Deco design, particularly the use of noble materials such as brass and the ornamental yet structured nature of the top detailing. The designer and producer of this piece are not known. The Art Deco movement emphasized stylized, geometric, and decorative motifs, often referencing earlier classical ornamentation, as seen in the crest element of this mirror.
