Defined by its twelve-sided geometric silhouette, the frame is composed of carefully joined solid walnut segments, each facet subtly angled to create a rhythmic interplay of light and shadow. The craftsmanship is evident in the precision of the joints and the elegant internal beveling, which adds depth and a sculptural quality to the overall composition. The warm tone and expressive grain of the Canaletto walnut enhance the mirror’s visual presence, balancing strength and sophistication. The proportions are particularly harmonious, with a generous frame width that emphasizes its architectural character without overwhelming the reflective surface.

Measuring an impressive 95 cm in diameter, with a frame width of 7.5 cm and a thickness of 2 cm, this mirror makes a bold yet refined statement in any interior, from modernist settings to more eclectic spaces. This piece is a true old stock example from the 1970s, never used, and remains in excellent vintage condition, with only very minimal signs consistent with storage. An elegant and rare decorative object, combining Italian craftsmanship, geometric clarity, and timeless materiality. See less
