The mirror features a striking trapezoidal, tapering form—a hallmark of streamlined mid-century design. The glass is encased in a slender, elegant frame of polished brass, which has developed a lovely, subtle patina consistent with its age. What truly distinguishes this mirror are the delicate yet dynamic scrolled brass accents at the top and bottom. These subtle flourishes not only provide hanging and support points but also add a touch of lyrical artistry, transforming a simple reflective surface into a sculptural object. The curved, almost "winged" top corners complete the sophisticated silhouette. Perfect for a luxury entry hall, a sophisticated powder room, or as a striking accent above a credenza, this mirror is a superb example of Italian MCM glamour. It will reflect light beautifully and instantly inject a sense of Golden Age Italian design into any contemporary or vintage-inspired space. It's in very good condition overall and brass is in original patina. See less
