Essential and refined, this vintage mirror is made up of 2 overlapping levels. The first is the mirror contained and overlapped on the second level, that is a glass frame of a rosy bronze color. Thanks to the application of a thin layer of silver or aluminum, fixed to the glass by electrolysis, the frame has a mirrored effect that increases its refractive capacity. The design and materials used are typical of the Italian production of glass furnishing accessories from the 1930s to the 1970s, produced by companies such as Veca, Cristal Art or by the historic company Fontana Arte. The mirror is intact and stable, without breaks or chips, it shows very minimal signs of use and aging visible in the photos and video. See less
