AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Giant 'nail' mirror – modernist sculptural design

An impressive floor-standing mirror with a strong visual impact, characterized by a slender sculptural form commonly described as 'nail-shaped'. The essential, fluid design recalls the organic lines typical of Modernist production and Italian design from the second half of the 20th century.

The structure features a freestanding base with a tapered profile, made from ivory/warm white lacquered material. The reflective element, an elongated, asymmetrical oval shape, is perfectly integrated into the silhouette, emphasizing the object's verticality. The overall composition conveys a minimalist yet strongly decorative aesthetic.

The cylindrical volume of the base ensures stability and gives the mirror an architectural and contemporary appearance. The presence of small side elements (knobs / fasteners) contributes to the piece's distinctive character.

Main features
• Type: Floor mirror / freestanding mirror

• Period: Second half of the 20th century
