AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The mirror consists of a central oval glass, set in a wider rectangular frame.

The weaving work is particularly complex and detailed.

The contour of the oval is highlighted by a wide border of flat braiding, reminiscent of a thick hair mat, which adds depth and texture.

The space between the oval and the rectangular frame is filled with delicate scrolls and spirals (reminiscent of fern fronds or baroque motifs reinterpreted in a natural form).

The straight edges of the frame are covered with a tight wrapping of thread or fiber, giving a finished and sturdy look to the whole.

The work of rattan, wicker, and braided fibers reached its golden age in the 1970s. At that time, sunburst mirrors or frames with organic and elaborate shapes were beloved.

This mirror echoes that taste for natural materials and complex curves.
