About the Item

This rare and radiant round wall mirror was designed by Emil Stejnar for Rupert Nikoll in Austria during the 1950s. Stejnar is celebrated for his romantic, almost magical light fixtures, often combining brass, delicate glass blossoms, and sparkling prisms into lush, ornamental forms. His designs were especially popular in Austrian coffee houses and patisseries, where they added a touch of glamour and dreamy elegance. This particular mirror is a perfect example of his distinctive style. Surrounded by a gilded brass frame adorned with numerous glass prisms, it becomes a glowing centerpiece when illuminated. The integrated lighting casts a soft, atmospheric glow, while the prisms reflect and refract the light, creating a sparkling halo effect and a delicate light pattern on the surrounding wall. Both decorative and functional, this piece works as a mirror, light fixture, and a true design statement all in one. A beautiful collector’s item for anyone who appreciates mid-century Austrian design and poetic lighting concepts.
