Oval Mirror Framed in Brass. Italian Work. Around 1970.

This mirror features an oval glass set in a golden brass frame with an inclined profile, whose molded inner edge finely frames the reflection. The original glass, slightly smoky, softens the light and gives the object an elegant depth. The absence of any ornamentation focuses attention on the purity of the oval and the shine of the metal. This refined sobriety, which makes the material and geometry the only decorative elements, is characteristic of Italian design from the 1970s, a period when workshops across the Alps showcased golden brass in sleek, highly modern forms. Condition report: Overall good condition. Brass with a beautiful homogeneous golden patina, original glass may show probable micro-pits or surface scratches inherent to age. A timeless mirror for an entryway, bathroom, or above a console.
