This piece embodies the refined glamour of the era with its striking, tapered shield-like silhouette and softly rounded corners. The frameless mirror glass features a beautiful Art Deco/Early Mid-Century aesthetic, offering a clean, sophisticated look. The mirror is elegantly adorned with brass accents: a slim brass trim across the top edge and a highly decorative, sculptural solid brass appliqué at the bottom. This lower brass detail, featuring an urn-like central motif flanked by scrolling flourishes, adds a touch of classic Italian opulence and acts as a focal point. The reverse of the mirror shows the simple, authentic wooden backing, consistent with vintage Italian craftsmanship. The overall presentation is one of timeless modernism, making it a perfect statement piece for an entryway, living room, or sophisticated bathroom. The brass exhibits a lovely original patina consistent with its age, enhancing its authentic vintage appeal. See less
