Mid-20th Century Italian in Smoked and Pink Bevelled Mirror By Cristal Arte, 50s

About the Item

I am offering for sale a stunning mirror, a manifesto of the great skills of Italian artisans in glassmaking during the mid-20th century. Made in Italy between the 50s and 60s, the production of this mirror is attributed to the historic company Cristal Art. The structure of this vintage mirror is layered, consisting of 3 oval-shaped levels. The first layer is in smoked bevelled glass, the smoke color tends towards tobacco color rather than gray or green. The second layer is what makes this mirror magical, an oval in glass decorated with ground segments, a decorative motif called "Unghiature", which creates a sort of luminous ray. The glass is mirrored thanks to the application of a thin layer of silver or aluminum, fixed to the glass by electrolysis, which gives it an iridescent pink color. The last layer is the actual mirror, oval and bevelled. The design and materials used are typical of the Italian production of glass furnishing accessories from the 1930s to the 1960s, produced by Cristal Art or by the historic company Fontana Arte. The mirror is intact and stable, without breaks or chips, it shows signs of use and aging on the layers of silver or aluminum applied to the glass
