Italian Mid-Century Shield-Form Brass Mirror with Shell Crest, circa 1950
Italian Mid-Century Shield-Form Brass Mirror with Shell Crest, circa 1950
An exceptionally elegant Italian mid-century wall mirror featuring a graceful, tapered shield silhouette. Encased in a slender, hand-finished brass frame, the top crest curves in a gentle serpentine arch centered by a finely detailed, cast brass scallop shell ornament. The mirror plate follows the dramatic inward taper of the frame, tapering down to a rounded bottom. The brass displays a soft, warm patina, while the glass retains its original clear reflection. Perfectly suited to bring a touch of mid-century Milanese glamour and sculptural poise to an entryway, powder room, or the bedroom.
Italy, circa 1950
Size: 29 1/2" high x 22 1/2" wide at top x 7 1/2" wide at base x 1" deep
Condition: Wear consistent with age and use.
