Featuring a beautifully hand-patinated terracotta-hued resin frame with the artist’s signature sunburst and geometric motifs, this piece evokes the warmth and texture of Vautrin’s celebrated “Talosel” technique — a material she invented by layering and carving cellulose acetate. The dual-mirror composition, with a round convex mirror surmounted over a rectangular base, reflects both light and movement, creating an interplay of shadow and radiance that enhances any refined interior.

Line Vautrin (1913–1997), known as the “poetess of metal,” was a French artist revered for her whimsical mirrors and jewelry, often inspired by mythology, literature, and symbolism. Her mirrors remain highly coveted by collectors and featured in museums such as the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris.

Perfect for an entryway, salon, or dressing room, this piece captures the essence of French modern decorative art, combining elegance, innovation, and timeless beauty in a sculptural, luminous form that celebrates the legacy of Line Vautrin’s artistry.
