Robert Goossens Rosebush Wall Mirror, Maison De Chanel, 24K Gilded Bronze, Paris
Located in Brooklyn, NY
Robert Goossens (30 January 1927 – 7 January 2016) began his career in the late 1940s, working in an atelier in the Marais neighborhood of Paris. It was in 1950 that Robert Goossens, son of the owner of a foundry located in the Marais, began his own small goldsmiths workshop. In 1953 Robert Goossens met Gabrielle Chanel and they became rapid friends and close colleagues. Chanel called him her “barbaric Byzantine” and together they recreated the Chanel fetish symbols: the cross, the lion, the sun, the star and the feather— archetypes of the Chanel “Byzantine” aesthetic (see image 5). Chanel commissioned many personal items that incorporated a mix of precious, semi-precious and costume stones, including gems that said to have been gifts from some of Ms. Chanel’s ex-boyfriends. Goossens's designs were heavily influenced by paintings and artifacts in Paris museums, with inspiration most often taken from Maltese, Byzantium, and Renaissance works. Over the years, he traveled extensively, frequently bringing back stones including sapphires, amethysts, rubies, coral, and chalcedony. Concerning rock crystal, after restoring a cross belonging to Madame Chanel, the stone became his favorite material. It is a clear and colorless variety of quartz. Goossens became the first to set it into pieces of jewelry; he felt that its delicate and inexpensive attributes were well suited to costume jewelry. He also utilized bronze, shells, pearls, colored and, as mentioned, natural rock crystal in necklace, brooch, bracelet and earring designs. Chanel also encouraged him to create his first decorative objects, all for her Paris apartment: a trio of lions in gilded bronze holding a rock crystal globe, followed by a Water lily pedestal table and a table with a Wheatsheaf as its base (see image 7 and 8), these early pieces have become some of the most emblematic creations by Goossens. By entering the world of decorative arts, Goossens demonstrated his ability to move from the relatively small scale of jewellery to that of furniture and objet d’art all while using the same materials (metal gilded with gold and rock crystals) as well as the same tools and techniques. Goossens professional relationship with Ms. Chanel lasted until her death in 1971. As well as collaborating with CHANEL, Goossens also made jewellery for many other notabledesigners throughout the 1950s through the 2010’s, such as Cristóbal Balenciaga, Yves Saint Laurent (see image 10), Madame Grès, Christian Dior, Hubert de Givenchy, Christian Lacroix. In 2005, the Goossens ateliers was acquired by CHANEL and continues to run under its ownership. Inaugurated in September 2020, the Galerie Goossens (image 9) is the first space to be entirely dedicated to the decorative arts creations made by the eponymous house. Located at 20 rue Cambon, not far from its Goossens jewelry...

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.
