Elongated wrought iron wall mirror, 147 cm high by 20 cm wide, made in France in the 1960s–1970s, with a laurel-ornamented aged metal frame in a vintage style, in good used condition with minor signs of age.
Description from the seller
This elongated mirror, 147 cm tall and 20 cm wide, is a decorative piece with a strong personality, crafted in wrought iron during the second half of the 20th century. Its vertical, slender frame makes it an ideal element for spaces that call for elegance without occupying excessive space.
The frame, crafted with care, features an aged metal finish that highlights the ornamental details in the form of laurel leaves, located at the top and bottom. These motifs, with strong symbolic meaning — associated with victory, nobility, and classical tradition — evoke the decorative language of the Louis XVI style, reinterpreted with industrial materials.
The form of the mirror, sober and functional, is balanced by the richness of the frame, creating a visual tension between the austere and the ornamental. Its weight and solidity make it a stable and durable piece, designed both for practical use and to add character to the decor.
This mirror not only reflects the image but also a taste for the classics adapted to 20th‑century aesthetics, ideal for interiors that value a blend of tradition and material strength. A piece that asserts presence with understated authority.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
