Mid-Century Woven Rattan Mirror, Europe ca 1950s (sold)
Fusing function and form, accent mirrors offer useful reflection while also providing an eye-catching focal point in any room. This beautiful decorative mirror in the manner of famed Italian designer, Franco Albini, has a light, yet defined look that is sure to stand out in any space.
This model has a complex weave of rattan in a continual series of triangular-shaped projections on the frame’s edge. While most mid-century rattan mirrors from the era have either an oval or square shape, this model has a heart shape with rounded edges, more pointed in the bottom, which creates a sleek, modern appearance. The inner elliptical frame has a traditional, braided look that shows off the maker’s expert craftsmanship. Furthermore, the hand-braided frame emphasizes the soft shape of the mirror glass. The organic materials paired with the elaborate patterns and weaving techniques of this mirror immediately draw the eyes. While in many places, the later years of the mid-century era were dominated by industrial design, this mirror is all about the skilful, handmade quality that makes it special.
Accent mirrors can be great in small spaces as they can make a room look bigger, and they can also create a focal point. With its organic charm, this mirror has a strong and stylish presence that can both dominate and complement any style of interior.
