French Mid-Century Graphic Mirror in Anthracite-Silver by Jacques Hitier, 1960s

About the Item

French Geometric Designed Mid-Century mirror in anthracite-silver by Jacques Hitier, published by Marly Frères 1960s. This fantastic mirror embodies an elegant nonchalance thanks to its proportions and unique design. Anthracite-coloured mirror glass has been combined with silver-grey mirror glass and transformed into a graphic composition. The contrasting surfaces are created partly by means of the coating (oval centre field) but also by means of the insertion technique (linear surfaces) of the other colour, in this case the edges are provided with a small bevel and then joined together using a mosaic technique. The design is sophisticated and a perfect combination of style and practicality. With its clean aesthetics and handcrafted quality, this mid-century mirror offers a subtle and elegant way to enhance your home. There are slight signs of ageing to the glass but no damage to the edges and bevelled edges. Jacques Hitier (28 March 1917 – 5 March 1999) was a French interior architect and designer. He was also a director of the Paris L’École Boulle, School for Fine Arts and Crafts and Applied Arts, from 1972 to 1982. Jacques Hitier had a unique vision of aesthetics and functionality. He was known for his ability to incorporate innovative design elements while maintaining the utility of his creations. It is said that Hitier once faced a particular challenge when designing a series of mirrors: how to incorporate modern aesthetics while retaining the mirror's main function? His clever solution was to incorporate bevelled or rounded edges into the mirror itself, creating a unique shape that provided both a clear view and a distinctive visual appeal.
