AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Large-scale sculptural mirror designed by Piero Figura for Atena (Italy, late 20th century).
Imposing decorative piece made of high-quality pewter, a material characteristic of the collaboration between the Italian designer and the manufacturer Atena. The frame, entirely handcrafted, features an exuberant composition inspired by the marine world, with shells, corals, conchs, and organic elements in relief that intertwine to create a dynamic and almost scenographic effect, typical of Figura's imaginative style.
The mirror stands out for its large size and considerable weight, which confirms the quality of the metal and its handcrafted craftsmanship. It is a decorative piece with a commanding presence, perfect as a centerpiece in a living room, hall, boutique, hotel, or home with a Mediterranean or eclectic aesthetic.
Excellent condition for its age, with the original characteristic patina of pewter that adds depth and authenticity.
A rare and very uncommon piece on the market, ideal for Italian design collectors or lovers of Atena Peltri's works.
It has no damage. It is like new.
