Its triptych design, featuring a central mirror and two side panels, creates a composition of enveloping arches that lends verticality, luminosity, and a sculptural presence without being excessive. The structure showcases exquisite craftsmanship: carefully selected canes, traditional joints, and firm, regular rattan panels free of breaks—a rare find in period pieces.

The surface retains its original warm honey tone, with a soft patina that attests to its authenticity without compromising its stability. The mirrors maintain their brilliance and depth, free of stains or clouding. Beveled mirrors.

This type of piece was highly valued in interior design projects in the Riviera, Capri, Ischia, and Costa Azzurra, where the priority was integrating nature, light, and Mediterranean sophistication. Today, they are highly sought after on international platforms, due to their rarity, sculptural scale and excellent state of preservation. See less
