At Turtle & Crane, we turn the past into stunning décor for today, and some pieces arrive already finished. This mirror is one of them.
A thick frame of split pencil reed is wrapped tightly around a shaped core, with mitered corners and a scalloped line that swells across the top and bottom. A rubbed bronze iron frame traces the outline, rising at the crest into a three-lobed scroll and ending at each corner in a hooked curl. Every joint is bound with a wrapped collar. The reed has aged to a warm honey tone.
The pairing of rattan and bent metal recalls the work of Gabriella Crespi and Vivai del Sud, and the Palm Beach Regency ateliers that set natural texture against wrought iron. The scrollwork adds a Spanish Revival note. Pieces in this vein by McGuire and Mario Lopez Torres sit in the same conversation. Made in the 1970s or 1980s.
The mirror measures 30 inches wide, 45 inches high and about 2 inches deep. It carries well over a console table, a fireplace mantel, an entry table or a bedroom dresser. It suits coastal, Palm Beach, Mid-Century Modern, Spanish Revival and bohemian rooms alike, in tan, brown, bronze and gold tones.
The frame is solid reed over a wood core, with an iron frame and thick glass, so the mirror has real weight. It should be hung into studs or with heavy-duty wall anchors.

The reed wrapping is tight and complete around the full frame, with natural tonal variation, a few small dark marks, and tiny lifted reed ends visible up close. There are small seams and slight gaps where the wrapped sections meet at the corners and mitered joints, and one small gap in the wrap along the lower frame. The iron has an aged dark patina and is attached to the frame with screws. The glass is clear, with light dust and age at the edges. The backing is original wood. Original finish throughout; nothing has been refinished. Vintage pieces carry imperfections in the original finish.
