Information

This is a round wall mirror produced by Glas & Trä AB in Hovmantorp, Sweden in 1962. The frame is crafted from solid teak, showcasing the refined craftsmanship and material richness typical of Scandinavian mid-century design. The mirror is constructed with precision joinery, including a visible finger joint in the circular lamination, indicating the artisanal manufacturing processes employed by the maker.

The profile of the frame is wide and smoothly curved, forming a sculptural contour around the mirrored glass. The teak has aged to a deep, reddish-brown patina, with visible grain patterns and a matte surface finish. The back of the mirror retains its original manufacturer’s label, dated 14 September 1962, which confirms its provenance and production details under the Glas & Trä branding.

Glas & Trä was a Swedish company active in the mid-20th century, known for its production of mirrors and furniture accessories that combined glasswork with high-quality Scandinavian woods. Pieces such as this reflect the emphasis on natural materials, clear forms, and functional beauty that defined the design culture of the era.

The mirror remains in good vintage condition, with minor signs of wear and handling. There are no structural damages or distortions to the frame or glass. The back is fully intact with label and mounting points preserved.

Dimensions: Diameter 55 cm (21.65 inches), Depth 4.5 cm (1.77 inches).
