Particular and eyecatching mirror in gilded metal; around the round mirror the craftsman has created a harmonious, supple, and graceful structure with a flat gilded metal wire, then he has delicately and skillfully placed some vine leaves, also in gilded metal, creating a symmetrical and elegant whole. The mirror was produced in Paris between 1948 and 1951 in a small workshop on Rue du Faubourg-St-Antoine, a long street that connects Place de la Bastille and Place de la Nation, crossing the suburb of the same name that arose in the Middle Ages, but is still active and industrious, the kingdom of many suggestive craft workshops located on the street, in the courtyards and in the picturesque lateral "passages". The vine leaf is a symbol of life and hope, it represents the desire for fertility and beauty, and it is a sign of devotion to the fruits of the spirit and protection from evil. Saved from the universal flood, the vine was implanted by Noah so that with his fruits he would give new life to the earth and propitiate the rebirth of humanity. The mirror is in good condition. Measures diameter cm.33, depth cm.3. For all our shipments we use special packaging materials (wooden crates, styrofoam, etc.) for maximum protection and safety of the objects. See less
