Gio Ponti walnut and parchment mirror, Italy, 1930s

Creator: Gio Ponti
Offered by: Linea Gallery

Description
Mirror in American walnut and parchment, Gio Ponti design, 1930s, Italian production. A perfect geometric circle in walnut finished in parchment with a natural and evocative flavor.

This mirror designed by Gio Ponti stands out for the combination of materials that harmonize with an aesthetic result of unmistakable attribution. The intense tones of American walnut meet the warm color of the parchment that covers the mirror frame.

The mirror's lines reflect an almost futuristic taste when placed in the broader context of the stylistic research that involved the worlds of art and industrial production in the early 1930s.

Designed to be placed in a bedroom, paired with other furniture from the same set, this mirror, for its aesthetic appeal, can be considered a standalone complement and fits perfectly into various furnishing contexts. It can also be paired with its console, also in walnut and parchment, a useful combination to create an entrance set.

Original from the 1930s, this object also showcases Ponti's ingenuity. It is indeed the period of innovative production realized in collaboration with Luigi Fontana &C., the company that preceded Fontana Arte in the field of high-quality furnishing.

The mirror can be placed in a contemporary setting without losing the charm that is characteristic of the finest pieces of Italian historical design. Its measurements are: diameter 75 cm, thickness 3.5 cm.

Period photographic documentation and certification from the Ponti archive confirm the authenticity and unique characteristics of this piece of furniture.
