Rectangular mirror with Cristal Art model 2712 – Italy, 1970s

Elegante rectangular mirror produced by Cristal Art, model 2712, characterized by a scenographic and thick blue concave crystal frame that surrounds the central mirrored glass.

The mirror is supported by refined brass mounts attached to a wooden support, creating a fascinating suspended effect that gives lightness and depth to the composition.

The design is surprising and refined: the mirror seems to “float” inside the coloured glass frame thanks to the metallic uprights, a distinctive element of Cristal Art production from the 1960s–70s. The result is a decorative object with great dramatic presence, able to enhance both classic interiors and contemporary environments.

Quintessential in design and impeccable in execution, this iconic Cristal Art mirror perfectly represents the quality and elegance of post-war Italian design.

Condition:
The condition of the mirror is excellent. The brass mounts show a natural patina of time, visible in the photographs, which testifies to the authenticity and charm of the vintage object. The crystal and the mirror are very well preserved.

Dimensions:
100 × 65 cm
