Item description

Solid brass wall mirror designed and produced in Italy in the manner of Gio Ponti, who used this type of mirror in the most beautiful Milanese homes of the 1950s. The brass is in a beautiful original patina, the glass is the original one. The shield shape was a hallmark of mirrors designed by Gio Ponti. This wall mirror is a splendid piece of vintage design that embodies the essence of mid-century aesthetics. This mirror showcases its distinctive mix of functionality, elegance, and modernist influences. The mirror has a bold and eye-catching presence, making it a focal point in any room. The shape of the shield is reminiscent of ancient armor shields, adding a touch of historical reference to the design. The mirror's frame is made of brass, a popular material in the middle of the last century. The warm golden hue of brass complements the mirror's reflective surface, creating a harmonious visual effect. The brass frame is sleek and minimalist, with clean lines and a smooth finish, showcasing the simplicity and sophistication of mid-century modern design. The mirror itself is large in size, allowing it to reflect and serve as a functional and decorative element in the room. The reflective surface is clear and uncluttered to emphasize the purpose of the mirror and enhance the illusion of space and light in the surrounding area. This wall mirror encapsulates the spirit of 1950s design. Its combination of organic and geometric shapes, along with the use of high-quality materials, exemplifies the era's commitment to both form and function. This mirror is a timeless piece of design that continues to inspire and fascinate fans of the mid-century modern aesthetic.
