Description from the seller
CHATY VALLAURIS
Important convex mirror “Soleil”
France, circa 1955-1965
Important convex mirror with radiating decoration, made by the Chaty Vallauris workshops, emblematic figure of French decorative arts in the post-war period.
The model features a central convex mirror, the so-called “witch’s eye,” surrounded by an elegant gilded circular frame extended by a spectacular crown of long, uniform rays spread out in a star around the entire circumference. The balance of the composition, the regularity of the rays, and the scale of its format give the piece an exceptional decorative presence.
Characteristic of the most sought-after Chaty Vallauris productions, this model perfectly illustrates the solar aesthetics that marked the interiors of the 1950s and 1960s. The central convex mirror offers a panoramic perspective of the space and amplifies the light, reinforcing the sculptural effect of the composition.
Due to its important dimensions, the quality of its manufacture, and its particularly harmonious design, this example ranks among the most decorative and sought-after models of the workshop.
Stamped “CHATY VALLAURIS A.M.” on the reverse.
Dimensions: diameter 82-85 cm approx
Materials: gilded metal and convex mirror.
Era: circa 1955-1965.
Origin: Vallauris, Alpes-Maritimes, France.
This specimen presents a beautiful original patina consistent with its period of manufacture and retains its original back panel bearing the workshop stamp.
Condition: Very good state of preservation.
