Italian Brass, Sculptural

A shaped brass wall mirror in the Italian mid-century manner, the frame drawn into a soft, organic silhouette — a lobed crest narrowing at the waist and curving out again below, the whole surround in warm brass with a gentle patina. It's the sculptural, free-form shape that defines the best Italian mirrors of the period, most associated with Gio Ponti and Fontana Arte.
