The design develops around the mirrored surface through a regular sequence of curved elements bound together, creating a decorative profile that is compact yet visually light.

The central section is enclosed by a double bent-rattan frame, connected to an outer band composed of small repeating loops around the entire perimeter. The bindings and woven joints remain fully visible and form an integral part of the design, while the natural variations in the colour of the material emphasise the handcrafted construction.

The depth of the frame and the repetition of the curved elements create a pronounced interplay of solid and open areas, particularly evident from the side and in the shadows cast on the wall. The result is a simple yet richly constructed decorative object, representative of the use of rattan in 1950s interiors.

Condition: Good overall condition.
