Italian Modernist Round Brass Mirror with Rose Gold Glass

Italian modernist round wall mirror in brass with rose gold tinted mirrored glass, Italy, 1970s.

An architectural Italian wall mirror distinguished by its clean circular form and unusual layered design. The round rose gold tinted mirror plate is set within a wide brass surround, with the upper portion recessed from the outer frame to create a crescent-shaped area of open space. Curved brass supports extend from either side of the mirror plate and connect visually with the circular outer frame, giving the piece added depth and a distinctive graphic quality. The combination of the warm tinted mirror glass and brass creates an elegant tonal effect characteristic of Italian decorative design of the 1970s. Original wood backing and hanging hardware.

The rose gold mirrored glass takes on subtle amber, bronze and champagne tones depending upon the surrounding light, while the simple circular geometry gives the mirror a clean modernist appearance. Versatile in both scale and design, the mirror would work well above a console or chest, or in an entrance hall, living room, bedroom or dressing area. Its understated form allows it to complement both mid-century modern and contemporary interiors.
