About the Item

Michel Salerno, a master metal-smith born in nice, has been a professor at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts for twenty-five years. Using centuries-old techniques, and evoking motifs older still, Salerno produces work that, nonetheless, is strikingly contemporary. This innovative character is managed by reflection. While the pieces are framed in classically lush, bronze details, often depicting natural subjects, the 'mirrors' themselves are dark, opaque, or dappled, and produce at best an irresolute image. In effect, the pieces draw a stark contrast between the timeless quality of art and the mortal quality of those bustling around it.

French Midcentury Bronze Naturalistic Designed Mirror for Lanvin Paris, 1970s
Located in Salzburg, AT
A French midcentury bronze mirror with naturalistic decoration. A poetic looking mirror with branches and leaves entwining around the frame. Playful and unevenly distributed bronze elements. Even the suspension (18 x 5cm) resembles an element from nature, a branch that quite randomly and casually on the upper frame laid down. The branches and leaves are engraved and textured the surface is colored from light to dark green with lacquer paint, giving the elements depth and naturalness. A mirror like a poem, even the back is included in the Enwturf. Painted on the back and signed by hand Ly De Rohanchault for LANVIN (the fashion label in Paris). So obviously a mirror made for a store interior or showroom for LANVIN. Lanvin or the Jeanne Lanvin S.A. is a French fashion company founded in Paris in 1889 by fashion designer Jeanne Lanvin. It is the oldest French couture fashion house to exist continuously and to this day.[1] In 2019, Lanvin celebrated its 130th anniversary.

Between 1909 and 1993, Lanvin also produced haute couture fashion for women...
