AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare and scenographic circular countertop/vanity mirror of large size, designed and produced by Tommaso Barbi in the 1970s. This piece is a masterful example of how Barbi managed to ennoble natural materials by placing them in a context of high chic and sophisticated design.
Aesthetic Details:
Materials: The majestic frame is made of handwoven rush (midollino) with impeccable artisanal technique, which gives warmth and texture to the object.
Finish: The inner edge and the supporting structure are in polished chromed metal, creating an extraordinary material contrast between the rusticity of the rush and the modernity of chrome.
Form: The perfectly circular geometry, combined with the sliding base typical of Barbi's style, makes the mirror a sculptural object visible 360 degrees.
Conditions:
The mirror is in excellent vintage condition.
The rush is intact, without breaks or missing parts, maintaining its natural, uniform color.
The chrome plating is bright and shows only a very slight patina of time, which guarantees its authenticity.
The original glass is in excellent condition, with a sharp reflection.
Dimensions:
Diameter: 39.5 cm
Depth: 2 cm
