Make a bold statement with this striking floor mirror by Cristal Art, crafted in Italy during the 1960s. A rare piece from the famed Turin-based manufacturer, this mirror showcases the elegant and innovative design that defined mid-century Italian decor.

The frame is composed of softly tinted pink glass, beautifully accented with polished brass details. It rests on a sturdy wooden structure with tapered wood legs, and includes a unique glass top ledge, adding both function and a sculptural touch. The use of colored and mirrored glass is a hallmark of Cristal Art's distinctive style, combining transparency with reflectivity in a way that feels timeless and refined.

Founded in 1944 by Giuseppe and Giovanni Donna, Cristal Art was a pioneer in decorative glasswork, producing luxury mirrors and furnishings through the mid to late 20th century. Alongside contemporaries like Fontana Arte and SantAmbrogio & De Berti, Cristal Art helped define a generation of sophisticated Italian design before closing its doors in 1999.
