Dressing Mirror by Burchiellaro with Sculptural Form Cast Aluminum Base, 1970

About the Item

Beautiful and rare, full length elliptical form dressing mirror by italian sculptor Lorenzo Burchiellaro dating from circa 1968- 1972. The mirror element is supported on a stunning organic sculptural form created in sand cast aluminum of great weight which bears Burchiellaro's incised hand signature (Please see image 3 for detail). The base features Burchiellaro's trademark incised marks and along with the organic marks resulting from the sand casting process add a complex irregular organic surface quality to an already complex organic form . We have left the aluminum surface unpolished with nice surface patina to maintain visual cues of genuine age and authenticity , the base could be polished to a shiny aluminum finish but we prefer to keep this work all original as it is an important work. The elliptical form mirror element is of extremely high quality and is half an inch thick , the rear surface of the mirror is lined with a beautiful, sculptural form copper panel with a hand hammered and oxidised finish by Burchiellaro which creates a beautiful organic interplay between the light and darker shades of copper patination and the way the light bounces off the the hammered surface resulting in a rich and almost tortoise shell quality to its appearance - very fine indeed. Please refer to main listing image which shows the rear face of the mirror. This is a rare and beautiful design which is rarely seen on the market and definitely one of the high points of Burchiellaro's oeuvre. A rare opportunity .
