Nordiska Kompaniet mirror
A rare wall mirror produced by Nordiska Kompaniet in Sweden during the 1940s, exemplifying the restrained elegance and material sensitivity associated with Swedish modernism of the period. The design is defined by its clean rectangular form with softly rounded corners, creating a balanced and understated silhouette that integrates easily into both classic and contemporary interiors.
The frame is executed in brass, gently patinated over time to a warm, nuanced tone with subtle variations across the surface. This natural aging contributes to the character of the piece, with faint marks and tonal shifts that reflect its history while enhancing the visual depth of the material. The slim profile, measuring approximately 1.5 cm in depth, emphasizes the refined construction and allows the mirror to sit close to the wall.
The mirrored glass is set neatly within the frame, bordered by a thin inner edge that creates a precise visual transition between reflective surface and metal. The rounded corners soften the geometry and echo the craftsmanship seen in high-quality Scandinavian production of the era, where attention to proportion and detail was paramount.
Measuring approximately 50 cm in width, 80 cm in height, and 1.5 cm in depth, corresponding to 19.7 x 31.5 x 0.6 inches, the mirror is suitable for both vertical and horizontal placement. It remains in good vintage condition with minor signs of usage, including light wear and patina to the brass frame consistent with age.
