About the Item
A bold and authentic French industrial mirror from the 1940s, this rectangular wall piece embodies raw materiality and quiet resilience. Stripped of ornament, the mirror plate is exposed and mounted directly with small metal clips, revealing edge oxidation and time-worn surface character.
Its honest construction and visible imperfections—particularly the foxing and oxidized patches along the lower edge—give the piece strong decorative value for collectors of wabi-sabi, rustic minimalism, or utilitarian design. The wear is not damage, but presence; it speaks of age, environment, and endurance.
With generous proportions, this mirror works beautifully in both residential and commercial spaces: above a console, in a bathroom, hallway, or creative studio. It invites reflection, both literal and atmospheric.
