Rare vintage sunburst mirror signed Chaty Vallauris, made in France during the 1950s–1960s.
with a diameter of 50 cm, this mirror features a circular composition of metal rays surrounding a flat, non-convex central mirror. Its radiant silhouette, characteristic of Chaty Vallauris's decorative vocabulary, makes it a particularly elegant piece of post-war French design.
Its patinated finish lends the piece a warm and refined presence. The surface retains the variations in finish and the marks of time that give the metal its depth and character.
At 50 cm in diameter, it offers a substantial enough size to stand alone above a console table, chest of drawers, or in an entryway, while also being easy to integrate into a wall composition of several mirrors.
The piece is signed Chaty Vallauris, a signature that further enhances its appeal for collectors of mid-20th-century French sunburst mirrors.
Condition
Very good vintage condition considering its age.
The finish shows some discoloration and loss of patina, consistent with the age and use of the piece. One radius is slightly warped, a minor flaw that is not visible once the mirror is hung. These marks are visible in the photographs and contribute to the authentic character of this antique piece.
