With reserve price!
Unique and exclusive 4 mirrors in "stained glass style". This was the first set of decorative panels by Mucha and became one of his most popular Art Nouveau series. The titles:

Alphonse Mucha created a series of posters titled "The Phases of the Day" in 1896, which became one of his most iconic works. Each image in the series portrays a woman personifying each phase of the day with details that capture the essence of each period.

These works reflect Mucha's ability to combine decorative elements with human figures, creating harmonious compositions that capture the natural beauty of each phase. He is known for his unique style, which strongly influenced graphic design and decorative art at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th. Reproductions of these works are quite popular and continue to be appreciated for their elegant and timeless style

*Les Heures du Jour (The Phases of the Day) - 1899

The series consists of four panels, each representing a different moment of the day: **Le Réveil du Matin, L’Éclat du Jour, La Douceur du Soir,** and **Le Repos de la Nuit.**

1. **Le Réveil du Matin (The Morning's Awakening)**

- **Description:** This work captures the freshness and purity of the early morning. It often portrays a young woman waking, surrounded by morning flowers such as daffodils, symbolizing new beginnings and freshness. The colors are typically soft and pastel, with a gentle glow suggesting the first light of dawn.
- **Themes:** Renewal, purity, and awakening.

2. **L’Éclat du Jour (The Splendor of the Day)**

- **Description:** This painting represents the liveliness and energy of noon. The subject is usually shown under full sunlight, with vibrant colors and dynamic compositions conveying the day’s vivacity and activity. The use of flowers like sunflowers or poppies often reinforces the theme of brightness and vitality.
- **Themes:** Vitality, energy, and productivity.

3. **La Douceur du Soir (The Sweetness of Evening)**

- **Description:** The evening panel reflects the calm and contemplation associated with the end of the day. The work may portray a serene, contemplative figure against an sunset setting. The colors are generally warm and soft, highlighting the smooth transition from day to night.
- **Themes:** Reflection, peace, and contemplation.

*Le Repos de la Nuit (The Rest of the Night)*

- **Description:** The final panel of the series embodies the mystery and serenity of the night. The image often features a reclining figure wrapped in darkness or moonlight, with elements such as stars or a crescent moon adding to the nocturnal theme. The palette

Seller's Story

I am passionate about art, antiques, and decorative objects with historical and aesthetic value. I carefully select unique pieces for auction, prioritizing those that stand out for their originality, quality, and history. I have a special affinity for antique mirrors inspired by the work of Alphonse Mucha, acquired from private collections and antique shops in Portugal and France. I also place great importance on pieces made of carved wood, especially in gilded relief, which represent the refinement and craftsmanship of classical decorative arts.
