Description from the seller

The photos speak for themselves.
Exclusive Golden Frames

These pieces are in perfect condition, just like new. I only noticed the frames and the uniform size of the pictures.

These lovely ladies are The Four Seasons of the Day in French, Alphonse Mucha, first version 1896.
Probably the most beautiful and elegant series of wall mirrors by Alphonse Mucha that we have ever had in our collection.
Size and weight are excellent.
With fairly reasonable frames for their age, the mirrors are like new.
This complete collection of stained glass style mirrors is the first edition of 'The Four Seasons of the Day' designed by Czech artist Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939) in 1896. It is an extremely rare collection to find in this large mirror format (66x29x3cm each).



With a reserve price!
Unique and exclusive 4 mirrors in 'stained glass style'. This was Mucha's first set of decorative panels and became one of his most popular series in the Art Nouveau style. The titles:

Alphonse Mucha created a series of posters titled 'The Phases of the Day' in 1896, which became one of his most iconic works. Each image in the series depicts a woman personifying each phase of the day with details that capture the essence of each period.

These works reflect Mucha's ability to combine decorative elements with human figures, creating harmonious compositions that capture the natural beauty of each phase.
He is known for his unique style, which greatly influenced graphic design and decorative art at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. Reproductions of these works are quite popular and continue to be appreciated for their elegant and timeless style.

*Les Heures du Jour (The Phases of the Day) - 1899

The series consists of four panels, each depicting a different time of day: **Le Réveil du Matin, L’Éclat du Jour, La Reverie du Soir,** and **Le Repos de la Nuit.**

The Awakening of the Morning (O Despertar da Manhã)

This work captures the freshness and purity of early morning. It often depicts a young woman waking up, surrounded by morning flowers such as morning glories, which symbolize new beginnings and freshness. The colors are typically soft and pastel, with a gentle glow suggesting the first light of dawn.
Themes: renewal, purity, and awakening.

2. The Sparkle of the Day (The Splendor of the Day)

- Description: This painting represents the vivacity and energy of midday. The subject is generally shown under full sunlight, with vibrant colors and dynamic compositions that convey the liveliness and activity of the day. The use of flowers such as sunflowers or poppies often reinforces the theme of brightness and vitality.
- Topics: Vitality, energy, and productivity.

3. The Evening Reverie (The Sweetness of the Sunset)

- Description: The sunset panel reflects the calm and reflection associated with the end of the day. The artwork may depict a serene and contemplative figure against the backdrop of a setting sun. The colors are generally warm and soft, highlighting the peaceful transition from day to night.
- Topics: Reflection, peace, and contemplation.

The Rest of the Night (O Repouso da Noite)

- Description: The last panel of the series incorporates the mystery and serenity of the night. The image often features a reclining figure enveloped in darkness or moonlight, with elements such as stars or the crescent moon enhancing the nocturnal theme. The palette

The frames will be carefully packed and protected.
Please always keep in mind that a piece over 50 years old may show some wear due to age, which is perfectly natural.

Seller's Story

I am passionate about art, antiques, and decorative objects with historical and aesthetic value. I carefully select unique pieces for auction, prioritizing those that stand out for their originality, quality, and history. I have a special affinity for antique mirrors inspired by the work of Alphonse Mucha, acquired from private collections and antique shops in Portugal and France. I also place great importance on pieces made of carved wood, especially in gilded relief, which represent the refinement and craftsmanship of classical decorative arts.
