Elegant table mirror from the Italian Art Deco period, label

Offered by: Vintage Domus Srl

Description
This exquisite Italian Art Deco table mirror is a fine example of early 20th century craftsmanship, exuding timeless elegance and vintage charm. The mirror's sophisticated design and aged patina tell a story, artistry and exquisite details, making it a unique decorative piece that perfectly blends functionality and beauty.

One of the most distinctive features of this mirror is the forged plaque on the back with the initials MLR, likely representing the name of the original owner or maker. This small but significant detail adds an element of exclusivity and historical intrigue, hinting at the mirror's provenance and its journey through time.

The frame is made of original period wood, beautifully weathered over time, developing a rich, warm patina that enhances its authenticity and character. The natural wear and soft sheen of the wood enhance its vintage charm, making it a remarkable representation of Art Deco elegance. The curved, flowing lines of the frame are emblematic of the aesthetics of the 1920s-1930s, in which designers embraced organic shapes and soft contours to create pieces that are visually striking yet balanced.The mirror glass features a subtly beveled edge, a sophisticated touch that adds depth and refinement to its reflection. Over time, the mercury backing has developed natural patina and slight aging marks, creating a delicate interplay of light and texture that enhances the mirror's vintage essence. Instead of detracting from its beauty, these time-worn details contribute to its undeniable charm and authenticity, making it an ideal collector's item.

Surrounding the perimeter of the mirror are small decorative metal studs, carefully securing the glass to the frame. These studs not only reinforce the structure but also add a delicate, ornamental touch, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship characteristic of L. Fontana's work. The combination of wood, metal, and aged glass creates a stunning interplay of materials that embodies the sophisticated allure of Art Deco design.

The mirror is supported by a simple yet sturdy metal stand, designed for effortless placement on a vanity, console, or dressing table. This practical addition allows the mirror to be displayed at an ideal angle, making it both a functional and decorative piece. The mirror remains in its original condition, bearing visible signs of age and use, which only enhance its authenticity and historical value.
