Mirror - Glass, Wood - Mid-Century Modern Triptych Vanity Mirror - 1950s

Mid-Century Modern Triptych Vanity Mirror – Brass & Red Tartan Plaid – c. 1950s – In excellent condition – No reserve A striking and highly decorative Mid-Century Modern triptych vanity mirror dating from the 1950s France. This elegant dressing table mirror features a beautifully proportioned three-panel design with brass-trimmed frames, an arched central mirror, and an eye-catching red tartan plaid finish applied to both the base and the reverse sides of the folding wings. The mirror combines practical functionality with unmistakable vintage charm. Its adjustable side panels can be positioned at various angles, providing multiple viewing perspectives while creating an attractive sculptural presence when displayed. The warm brass tones contrast beautifully with the vibrant tartan pattern, giving the piece a distinctive character that immediately evokes the stylish domestic interiors of the post-war era. Triptych mirrors became a popular feature in bedrooms and dressing rooms during the mid-20th century, valued for their practicality as well as their decorative appeal. The unusual tartan finish makes this example particularly desirable, blending traditional British-inspired motifs with the clean lines and elegant materials associated with Mid-Century design. The mirror remains in excellent vintage condition. The reflective surfaces show only minimal age-related foxing, while the brass-toned trim, hinges, and tartan-covered panels are exceptionally well preserved. The folding mechanism operates smoothly, allowing the side panels to be positioned as intended. Dimensions app: 32 x 34.5 x 7.5 cm (h x w x d) Weight: app 1,75 Kg Condition: Excellent vintage condition Beautiful but minimal foxing/ patina to the mirror glass consistent with age Brass-toned trim with light age-related patina Hinges function correctly Tartan-covered surfaces remain bright, attractive and are clean. No cracks, chips, or repairs. A rare and highly decorative vanity accessory that perfectly captures the elegance and optimism of Mid-Century interior design. An attractive collector's piece and a true eye-catcher for any vintage, Mid-Century Modern, or eclectic interior.
