About the Item

This luxurious, post-war Italian brass mirror is more than just a piece of décor. It's a testament to the resilience and creativity of Italian craftsmanship during challenging times. Brass furniture was restricted during the war, yet this piece, made after the war, reverberates with the rich echoes of art deco elegance, blended seamlessly with the allure of classical influences. The mirror, still boasting its original glass, exhibits a charming patina that only adds to its appeal. The unique, cast brass hook provides a distinctive touch of timeless sophistication. While not explicitly listed as Fontana Arte, the mirror's quality parallels its esteemed creations. This piece unmistakably mirrors the blend of tradition, art, design, and history.
