Pair of Italian Mirror Attributed to Pietro Lingeri, Brass and White Wood, 1940

About the Item

Pair of large and important wall mirrors with flower boxes attributed to Pietro Lingeri of the 1940s. The mirrors have a white lacquered wooden structure. The mirrors have a very unusual realization, in fact they also serve as flower holders or as pockets or umbrella holders for entrance. The peculiarity of the mirrors are its crossed and tapered wooden feet, connected by current and to the cruise base. On the feet we find the brass tips with a brass tube. The object holder or planter has an unusual brass worked frame. The mirror is anchored to the structure with perfectly solid brass bolts. The edge of the mirror is made of brass and an ornamental brass crown completes the object. The pair of mirrors is ideal for furnishing large entrances with a Classic and rationalist style. In the pictures you will find an example of Lingeri's work (table). You will notice the woven X-shaped pattern typical of Pietro Lingeri's line. Pietro Lingeri made furniture for a demanding bourgeois clientele and is characterized by a solid wood supporting structure with crossed trestles, connected by X-shaped currents, a form taken with refined mannerism in all its design processes. Both the furnishings and the lamps weave a subtle relationship with the tradition of cabinet-making and Lombard craftsmanship, but at the same time they are conceived according to an ideation process typical of radical architecture in the first half of the 20th century, which entrusts the forms with the expression of the construction logic of each artefact, be it a building or a piece of furniture. Lingeri was one of the founders of the Italian Movement for Rational Architecture (MIAR).
