Mid Century Palladio Italy Crown Sunburst Design Mirror
By Palladio
Located in Swedesboro, NJ
Dimensions - H: 26 1/4 in W: 26 1/4 in D: 1 1/4 in
This extraordinary crown sunburst mirror represents the absolute pinnacle of Italian mid-century decorative arts, created by the legendary Palladio workshops during the transformative 1950s period when Italian design achieved unprecedented international recognition and established Italy as the global epicenter of luxury craftsmanship. This magnificent piece embodies the sophisticated fusion of centuries-old Venetian artisan traditions with the emerging Hollywood Regency aesthetic that would define luxury interior design for generations of discerning collectors.
The Palladio workshops of Italy stood among the most prestigious and influential names in European decorative arts during the mid-20th century, their mirrors and lighting fixtures gracing the most distinguished palazzos, luxury hotels, exclusive clubs, and affluent American residences from Beverly Hills to the Hamptons. Their unparalleled reputation for combining traditional Italian craftsmanship excellence with contemporary glamour and theatrical sophistication made their pieces the preferred choice of prominent interior designers, Hollywood celebrities, European nobility, and discerning collectors seeking authentic luxury with cinematic presence.
This mirror showcases the iconic crown sunburst motif executed with the precision, artistry, and attention to detail that distinguished Palladio's master craftsmen from commercial manufacturers throughout Europe and America. The radiating design creates dramatic architectural presence and sculptural impact while serving as both functional mirror and museum-quality decorative masterpiece. The crown element adds regal grandeur and palatial sophistication that transforms any interior space into a setting worthy of the most distinguished residences.
The masterfully executed paint decoration demonstrates traditional Italian finishing techniques passed down through generations of Venetian master craftsmen and guild artisans. The gold accent finish, applied with museum-quality precision using time-honored methods and the finest materials available, creates luminous depth, sophisticated patina, and rich tonal variations that respond beautifully to changing light conditions throughout the day. This exceptional combination of decorative painting and precious metal work represents the absolute height of mid-century Italian luxury craftsmanship and artistic achievement.
While maintaining its distinctly Italian character, classical proportions, and European sophistication, this mirror captures the essence of Hollywood Regency style that was revolutionizing luxury interiors during the 1950s golden age of American glamour. The sophisticated integration of sunburst motifs, glamorous gold accents, theatrical scale, and cinematic presence reflects the era's fascination with exotic luxury, precious materials, and dramatic design elements that defined the most sophisticated American and European residences of the period.

Antique and Vintage Mirrors for Sale: Find Unique LaBarge Mirrors, Ettore Sottsass Mirrors and Other Mirrors on 1stDibs
The road from early innovations in reflective glass to the alluring antique and vintage mirrors in trendy modern interiors has been a long one but we’re reminded of the journey everywhere we look.
In many respects, wall mirrors, floor mirrors and full-length mirrors are to interior design what jeans are to dressing. Exceedingly versatile. Universally flattering. Unobtrusively elegant. And while all mirrors are not created equal, even in their most elaborate incarnation, they're still the heavy lifters of interior design, visually enlarging and illuminating any space.
We’ve come a great distance from the polished stone that served as mirrors in Central America thousands of years ago or the copper mirrors of Mesopotamia before that. Today’s coveted glass Venetian mirrors, which should be cleaned with a solution of white vinegar and water, were likely produced in Italy beginning in the 1500s, while antique mirrors originating during the 19th century can add the rustic farmhouse feel to your mudroom that you didn’t know you needed.
By the early 20th century, experiments with various alloys allowed for mirrors to be made inexpensively. The geometric shapes and beveled edges that characterize mirrors crafted in the Art Deco style of the 1920s can bring pizzazz to your entryway, while an ornate LaBarge mirror made in the Hollywood Regency style makes a statement in any bedroom. Friedman Brothers is a particularly popular manufacturer known for decorative round and rectangular framed mirrors designed in the Rococo, Louis XVI and other styles, including dramatic wall mirrors framed in gold faux bamboo that bear the hallmarks of Asian design.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, mid-century modernism continues to influence the design of contemporary mirrors. Today’s simple yet chic mantel mirror frames, for example, often neutral in color, owe to the understated mirror designs introduced in the postwar era.
Sculptor and furniture maker Paul Evans had been making collage-style cabinets since at least the late 1950s when he designed his Patchwork mirror — part of a series that yielded expressive works of combined brass, copper and pewter — for Directional Furniture during the mid-1960s. Several books celebrating Evans’s work were published beginning in the early 2000s, as his unconventional furniture has been enjoying a moment not unlike the resurgence that the Ultrafragola mirror is seeing. Designed by the Memphis Group’s Ettore Sottsass in 1970, the Ultrafragola mirror, in all its sensuous acrylic splendor, has become somewhat of a star thanks to much-lauded appearances in shelter magazines and on social media.
On 1stDibs, we have a broad selection of vintage and antique mirrors and tips on how to style your contemporary mirror too.
