AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Grand Sun Mirror Chaty Vallauris
This iconic model of French artistry was produced in the 1950s–1960s.
This exemplar is a large size: 85 cm in diameter for the longest rays, with a very beautiful patina.
The Chaty brand specialized in gilded metal sun mirrors. The inscription on the back, “CHATY VALLAURIS A.M.” (A.M. for Alpes-Maritimes), attests to its authenticity. It is one of the few mirror manufacturers of that era to consistently sign the backing board of its creations, which makes it a certified and sought-after piece.
The rays are made of gilded metal. They are arranged in a fan of alternating lengths for a very successful dynamic effect.
The central mirror is convex, often called a “witch mirror” (or witch’s eye), typical of these productions. It reflects light in a very particular way and adds depth. It is surrounded by a twisted baton, and another smooth one. It measures 24 cm in diameter.
The twisted baton that frames the central mirror is also a classic visual signature of the flagship Châty models.
Some rays are slightly bent.
An iconic object for decorating your interior.
