Large Round Python-Skin Mirror, Karl Springer, USA, c. 1985

Description
A superb large round mirror by Karl Springer in pink faded to mauve python skin. Two concentric circles create a 6″ wide frame with two large bronze mounts each 4″ deep and 8″ wide. The skins all masterfully matched as only Springer could – each laid against the frame full width and perfectly book matched. It’s interesting to note that Springer was trained and began his business as a book binder using exotic leathers. This mirror represents the best and rarest of Springer’s work and is signed and dated in leather on the reverse Karl Springer, 1985. Acquired directly from the original owner. Ideal as an over-mantle mirror.
