Very Elegant Vanity Table Mirror Chinoiserie in a Junk-Shaped Form, circa 1960

About the Item

The term Art Deco appeared in the 1960s in reference to the International Exhibition of Decorative and Industrial Modern Arts organized in Paris in 1925 which marked the consecration of this style. Art Deco fell into decline in the early 1940s. World War II began and people perceived the Art Deco Style to be gaudy and inappropriately luxurious, especially in wartime when sacrifice was tantamount to patriotism. However, the bold designs were revived during the late 1960s as elements of the style were revived with the rise of consumerist culture. The model of this mirror takes the stylized form of a junk, a traditional boat from the Far East (China, Japan) whose mats are oblique. The sail of the boat is represented by the mirror and the base of the wooden mirror takes the shape of the slats that hold the mirror as the sail of the boat. An original piece that would find its place in a contemporary decoration or art deco interior with a touch of chinoiserie Note: The mirror is original but has a small faults, the picture has been magnified x4,2 Last picture: By Remi Jouan - Photo taken by Remi Jouan.
