Frame - Crystal

This technique was very widespread in the production of mid-century modern mirrors, particularly during the 1930s (the full Art Déco period). Smooth glass with elaborate rear decoration in waves/clouds, diffuse specks, and the mirror is attributable to Italian mid-century production, most likely from the mid-20th century (1930s/40s), a period in which the geometric motifs of Art Déco were more present. The leaves are very decorative and the stylized clouds are applied above the silvered surface on the back of the glass. In practice, the mirror was made in layers:
1. There is the main glass pane. Behind it was spread the reflective silver layer (the mirror film). On top of the silver, this second decorative protective layer was applied, which creates the visible design on the front. This also perfectly explains the nature of the specks: oxidation; the black lacquered frame and the faux-wood finish.
At the bottom left side when viewed head-on, and the right side in a corner, it has lost the decoration because it was laid on the ground in a damp place and the frame was damaged, but the mirror itself was not restored.
Transport is very delicate for the mirror, so a special wooden box will be made to prevent breaking the mirror; the cost for the box will be evaluated at one hundred euros. If possible, it could also be picked up on site free of charge; there is no need to make the box.
