Brass mirror with crest, bead frieze, Italian design style.

A vintage brass mirror in Mid-Century Italian style, crafted in the manner of period shields, identifiable by its shield shape and fine ornamental border. Its shield silhouette is appealing with its rounded top, discreet shoulders, and smooth descent towards the base. Its signature detail is the beaded frieze that runs along the frame, adding a refined and precious touch. The frame is made of brass, mounted on a wooden back. The brass has been cleaned and exhibits a warm, golden hue, with some signs of oxidation reflecting its age. The back shows some moisture marks on the edges, without affecting the stability of the mirror or the visible face. Weighing 9 kg, it is a solid and well-constructed mirror. It features an integrated hook at the top of the frame and two additional hangers on the back for a more discreet installation. Ideal above a chest of drawers, in a hallway, or a bedroom, this Italian shield mirror adds depth to a wall and a true vintage presence.
