Pair of Swedish 20th Century Ribbon-Crested Mirrors

Made in Sweden around 1950, this pair of mirrors is designed with beaded borders and tied ribbon surmounts. The ribbon cresting at the top of each frame, modeled to resemble tied fabric, is a decorative motif drawn from neoclassical design and revived in Swedish work of the period. The beaded inner borders frame the plates and add fine detail around the glass. As a matched pair, the mirrors are intended to hang together, providing symmetry on a wall or flanking a doorway, window, or piece of furniture. Their modest scale suits placement above a pair of consoles or chests, or in a bedroom or dressing area. The ribbon surmounts give the mirrors a light, decorative character while keeping to a restrained Scandinavian style. Hung as a pair, they bring balance and reflected light to a wall arrangement in a hall, bedroom, or reception room.

This is an antique and having been around for a long time, it will show signs of wear. Antique pieces have very much sought-after character and associated flaws. Please review photos for condition & contact us with questions!
