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 circular gold mount 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, and the breadth of its size give the whole a remarkable decorative presence.
Characteristic of the most sought-after productions of Chaty Vallauris, this model perfectly illustrates the solar aesthetics that marked the interiors of the most refined 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.
Through its important dimensions, the quality of its manufacture, and its particularly harmonious design, this specimen ranks among the most decorative and sought-after models of the manufactory.
Stamped “CHATY VALLAURIS A.M.” on the back.
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 fabrication and retains its original back panel bearing the workshop stamp.
Condition: Very good state of preservation.
