Fontana Arte Illuminated Wood and Glass Wall Mirror, circa 1940
An extraordinary and rare illuminated circular wall mirror, designed by Guglielmo Ulrich for Fontana Arte, circa 1940-50. Set within a deep, rich mahogany circular wooden frame, the piece features an outer ring of rose gold colored mirrored glass adorned with engraved geometric motifs around the perimeter. A central circular mirror plate floats within an inner wooden rim. Built-in backlighting casts a warm ambient glow through the inner rim gaps, beautifully highlighting the grain of the wood and the subtle warm tone of the rose gold glass. A grand statement piece suitable for any interior style. Of 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 known for.
