AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Hello everyone,
The house offers this elegant French sunburst mirror from the CHATY VALLAURIS firm.
Convex mirror “Soleil”
France, 1955-1965.

Convex mirror with radiating decoration, made by the Chaty Vallauris workshops, an iconic figure of post-war French decorative arts.

The model features a central convex mirror, the so-called “witch’s eye” with a 14 cm convex glass surrounded by an elegant gilded starry frame extended by a spectacular crown of long uniform rays deployed in a star around the entire circumference. The balance of the composition, the regularity of the rays in its 50 cm format give the whole an exceptional decorative presence.

Characteristic of the most sought-after productions by Chaty Vallauris, this model perfectly illustrates the solar aesthetics that marked the most refined 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.

By its large dimensions, 50 cm span, the quality of its manufacture and its particularly harmonious design, this example ranks among the most decorative and most sought-after models of the manufacturer.

Stamped “CHATY VALLAURIS A.M.” on the rear.

Dimensions: diameter 50 cm.

Materials: gilded metal and convex mirror.
Era: circa 1955-1965.
Origin: Vallauris, Alpes-Maritimes, France.

This example presents a beautiful patina consistent with its time of manufacture and retains its original back panel bearing the factory stamp.

Condition: Very good condition.

The images are part of the description. Fast shipping and total security in package handling.

Good luck!
