About the Item

Ernesto Valabrega, console mirror, oak, metal, Italy, 1930s. This large Art Deco mirror is designed by Ernesto Valabrega and can be placed on top of a sideboard or adjusted to a wall. The application of this elegant piece of furniture is a clever option to enlarge the spatial notion, due to its reflection. A composition of four small mirror plates on each side surround a large rectangular mirror. Therefore the lines are visible in the whole mirror's surface. Notable detail are the chamfered edges of the frame in combination with the carved vertical lines, which are characteristic for Ernesto Valabrega's style. The great craftmanship of Ernesto Valabrega comes forward into this exceptional piece. Overall, a great extension to a console or sideboard. Italian designer Ernesto Valabrega (1901-1944) was born in Turin, as the son of celebrated designer and cabinetmaker Vittorio Valabrega (1861-1952). His father Vittorio was, together with his brother, the founder of Fratelli Valabrega (Valabrega Brothers Company, since 1884) that was situated in Turin. During the 1890s, Vittorio became the sole owner of the company and had great success with his refined wooden furniture. Vittorio Valabrega became well-known for his furniture in the floral Art Nouveau style, but as a true child of the 19th century, his company also manufactured furniture in Neo-Renaissance and the French Rococo Louis XV-style. His designs received positive attention and were awarded at World Exhibitions. At the famous exhibition in Paris in 1900, Vittorio even received a gold medal. It was at the age of 24 that Ernesto got on board with his father’s business. His involvement from 1925 onwards had a great impact on the company. Ernesto decided to change the company’s name to Mobilart in 1928 and radically redirected the course. Whereas Vittorio was inspired by a variety of contemporary and historic styles, Ernesto chose for a different approach. He renounced the 19th century mixture of styles and approached furniture design in the same manner as the highly influential William Morris of the English Arts and Crafts movement. Their reform was an artistic reaction to the widespread industrialization of the 19th century. Ernesto despised products of poor quality and chose high quality materials that would last a lifetime. The furniture he created in the late 1920s and 1930s are a true testament to his beliefs. With his irregular carvings of oakwood, the hammered hinges, flowing edges, embossed surfaces his furniture shows quality, attention to detail and ultimate craftsmanship.
