Metal sunburst wall mirror from France, circa 1970–1980, featuring a central circular mirror with radiating metal rods ending in small mirrors and decorative spheres, in a copper/aged bronze finish, external 83 × 83 cm with an internal 20 × 20 cm, in good used condition with minor signs of wear and some peripheral mirrors damaged.
Description from the seller
Spectacular sunburst wall mirror made in the second half of the 20th century, a decorative piece with a strong visual impact inspired by the iconic sunburst designs that reached great popularity during the central decades of the last century. Its composition centers on a circular central mirror from which numerous metal rods radiate, topped with small mirrors and decorative spheres, creating an elegant sense of expansion and movement that evokes sun rays.
The structure features a finish in copper and aged bronze tones that adds warmth and depth to the whole. The alternation of mirrored circular elements and spherical volumes produces an appealing play of light, reflections and contrasts, turning the piece into a true sculptural element capable of drawing attention in any room. Its design, with a pronounced Mid-Century Modern character, also incorporates decorative influences associated with Hollywood Regency style, as appreciated for its ornamental richness and visual sophistication.
The mirror retains a beautiful patina acquired over time, in keeping with its age, presenting slight signs of use and wear. Some of the small peripheral mirrors show faults or breakages, details that do not detract from its decorative power and that attest to its historical journey, adding the charm typical of authentic vintage pieces.
Due to its dimensions, presence and ability to multiply light, it constitutes an ideal piece as a focal element in living rooms, hallways or dining rooms, imparting personality, elegance and an unmistakable retro vibe to any interior.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
