It features a striking, simple rectangular silhouette with gracefully rounded upper corners, a signature design element of the period. The mirror glass is framed by a slender, elegant brass surround which has developed a beautiful, authentic vintage patina consistent with its age. The most distinctive feature is the delicate, etched glass detail. A stylized feather or sheaf design is beautifully etched into the lower corner of the glass, adding an unexpected and refined touch of artistry that elevates it beyond a standard mirror. This piece is a true statement of Italian Modernism, embodying the era's blend of clean lines, luxurious materials, and subtle artistic detailing. Its substantial size makes it an ideal floor mirror leaning against a wall, or it can be easily mounted to serve as a dramatic oversized wall mirror in an entryway, living room, or bedroom. A rare and elegant find for collectors of vintage Mid-Century Italian design. See less
