Luigi Fontana 1940's Brass Shaped Wall Mirror with Decorative Scroll Crest
Fontana Arte 1940's Brass Shaped Wall Mirror with Decorative Scroll Crest
A Luigi Fontana brass framed shaped wall mirror, featuring an expressive silhouette with soft, organic curves. A reeded brass frame contours the glass, crowned by a sculptural ribbon crest formed from undulating brass loops that lend a playful architectural lightness. The original mirrored glass exhibits a gentle, authentic age-distressed patina with light silvering wear throughout, enhancing its vintage allure and character without compromising reflection quality. A fine example of the Fontana Arte glass studio, where classical elegance met modernist innovation. Timeless and sculptural, this elegant mirror makes a refined statement in both traditional and contemporary interiors; grand in scale it will provide gravitas to any room. This piece brings quintessential Italian glamour, elegance and theatrical warmth to any entryway, mantle, dressing room or living room. Retaining its original wooden backing,
