Fontana Arte Circular Glass Wall Mirror with Smoked Glass Blades, 1955
A rare and highly unique circular glass wall mirror executed by Fontana Arte, Italy, circa 1955. This exquisite and impressive circular wall mirror with cut smoked glass blades radiating from a floating circular clear glass center and with a very thick beveled outer edge. There is an embossed gold/brown colored paper with vine and floral motif which lays behind the central clear floating mirror plate; it is quite subtle and one can see the embellished design from an angle. The mirror shows great depth; a truly masterly craftsmanship and a refinement of design. Truly an artisan piece, hand-crafted with a discerning eye and with the highest level of skill, for which the Fontana Arte Studio was renown for.
Fontana Arte, circa 1955
Size: 28" diameter x 2 1/2" deep
Condition: Wear consistent with age and use. In very good original condition with minor foxing of the outer clear mirror glass which shows its age and authenticity.
