A spectacular and highly decorative monumental oval mirror by cristal art, model 2649, executed in italy during the 1960s. The composition is defined by its striking architectural presence: a towering central mirror plate framed by a segmented border of smoked grey mirrored panels, delicately engraved with stylized botanical motifs—an elegant, graphic flourish emblematic of mid-century italian decorative production. The mirror is further elevated by its integrated gilt-metal console, a sculptural and richly worked element featuring curled scroll supports and hammered detailing, culminating in an ornate base with sweeping feet. The interplay of patinated metal and etched glass creates an unmistakably theatrical silhouette—an object that reads as both functional furnishing and sculptural statement piece. With its impressive scale and refined ornamentation, this mirror is ideally suited to a dramatic entry hall, dressing room, or as a focal point in a curated interior, offering the rare combination of mid-century italian glamour and hand-finished artisanal craftsmanship.
