About the Item

This exquisite double-sided hand mirror was designed by Ivar Ålenius Björk for the esteemed Swedish foundry Ystad-Metall in the 1940s. Crafted from solid brass, the mirror features an elegant, organic form that captures the refined aesthetics of Scandinavian Art Deco and early modernism.
