Italian Neoclassical Marble Shaving Mirror, Circa 1810

About the Item

Our shaving mirror in the neoclassical style was crafted in Italy from carved marble, circa 1810. The only all-marble standing mirror of its kind we have seen come to market in the past twenty years. Exceptionally rare. Apparently unsigned. There are chip losses, scratches, and old repairs to the drawer, and considerable wear to the silvering on the glass.

  • Art Deco Orrefors Mirror from Swedish Oceanliner
    By Orrefors
    Located in New York, US
    Our etched glass mirror designed by Simon Gate (1883-1945) for Orrefors is one of two mirrors commissioned for the Swedish oceanliner, M/S Kungsholm, which took its maiden voyage in 1929. It has a rectangular shaped metal frame bordered by 28 shaped glass plaques with double welt caming etched with nude figures, mermaids, tridents and dolphins. Signed in lower right ORREFORS S. GATE 1928. This is one of two mirrors that hung in the vestibule connecting the first-class main lounge and the music room. The whereabouts of the other mirror is not known. The M/S Kungsholm was built in 1928 and had her inaugural voyage when she sailed to the Caribbean for the Swedish American Lines in 1929. The Kungsholm was not the largest of ships, but it was designed and decorated as a showcase for luxurious Art Deco design by the finest of Sweden's artists. Notably, this is one of a very few number of decorative objects from the ship that have survived following its seizure by the U.S. in 1941 for the transport of troops in WWII. The interior of the ship was designed by Carl Bergsten to showcase the very best of Swedish fine and decorative arts to the world. For more information, we invite you to read the lot essay from the Christie's sale in 1991 which included the mirror in lot 248. Literature: * Gustaf Munthe, Swedish Arts and...
