This mirror is part of the Brutalist "sunburst" tradition, popularized in France and Spain in the post-war period, where artisan workshops created sculptural pieces in wrought metal for galleries and interior designers.
The use of a horseshoe-shaped frame is less common but fits well with the Brutalist style: expressive simplicity, texturized metal, and the absence of superfluous ornamentation. This stylized format is rare and suggests a unique artisanal production, potentially French or Spanish.
A unique piece with a strong visual presence, sought after by lovers of vintage Brutalist design. See less
