Round mirror
This is a circular wall mirror, model number 102, produced by Glasmäster in Markaryd, Sweden during the 1950s. The piece is crafted in teak with brass and leather details, reflecting the functional elegance characteristic of Scandinavian mid-century design. The mirror features a finely finished teak frame that encircles the glass with a minimal profile, subtly beveled to add a sense of refinement without interrupting its clean geometry.
Suspension is achieved through a natural leather strap, looped through a patinated brass ring at the top, allowing the mirror to hang with visual balance and material contrast. The light tan leather, aged and slightly worn at the edges, provides both structural function and aesthetic interest, complementing the warm tones of the teak. The brass ring, oxidized with time, introduces a subdued metallic accent that reinforces the object’s vintage authenticity.
The overall form is round, with a diameter of 34 cm (13.4 inches), and a total height of 51 cm (20 inches) when measured with the hanging strap extended. The depth is 4 cm (1.6 inches), giving the piece a shallow and lightweight profile suited to both decorative and functional wall use. The back retains its original label from Glasmäster, noting the model number and material, and indicating its origin in Markaryd, a region associated with fine Swedish glass and mirror production.
Condition is good vintage, with minor signs of wear visible in the leather and some light aging in the wood and metal components. The mirror glass is clear and intact. This piece serves as a compact yet distinctive wall accessory, marrying warm organic materials with modernist simplicity, and is exemplary of the Scandinavian approach to domestic utility and craftsmanship.
