Italian wooden wall mirror with a large, geometric and molded frame finished in warm gold, dating to 1960–1970, external 81 × 61 cm, internal 61 × 41 cm, depth 6 cm, in excellent condition with light signs of wear and age.
Description from the seller
Large wall mirror with an Italian taste, characterized by a substantial frame, with a geometric and modulated profile, a strong architectural presence and notable decorative impact. The wooden structure is enhanced by a warm gold finish, slightly darkened in the grooves, which highlights the depth of the moldings and the rhythm of the planes, creating an elegant chiaroscuro.
The design of the frame, with its sharp cuts and angular recesses, evokes a sober yet authoritative aesthetic, capable of dialoguing with both classical interiors and contemporary spaces in search of a distinctive element. The overall composition expresses a balance between formal rigor and material richness, qualities typical of Italian decorative production in the second half of the twentieth century, where the mirror is not merely a functional object but a true piece of furniture.
The reflective surface, broad and well-proportioned relative to the frame, helps amplify natural light and enhance the sense of space, making this piece ideal for entryways, living rooms, bedrooms, or professional studios. The gilding tone, rich yet refined, adds a bright, prestigious touch without being overdone, easily blending into settings of various styles.
From a collectible and decorative point of view, it is a versatile wall mirror, capable of enhancing spaces in both residential settings and formal/representative environments. The quality of the workmanship on the moldings and the finish's rendering attest to a production attentive to detail and to the overall aesthetic effect.
Proper packaging and traceable shipping across Europe.
