Max Ingrand mirror with glass frame and brass mounts, Fontana Arte, Italy, 1960s

A mirror with crystal glass frame and brass mounts, produced by FontanaArte, designed by Max Ingrand, Italy, 1960s

A rare mirror designed by Max Ingrand for FontanaArte, featuring an asymmetrical frame in glossy orange/pink glass that delicately encases the suspended mirror. Its ethereal beauty is accentuated by the subtle embrace of two brass clips. Crafted from wood, milled colored glass, brass, and mirrored glass, this piece is a testament to the artisanal excellence inherent in mid-century aesthetics.

Despite the passage of time, its vintage condition remains remarkably intact, with the mirror and glass perfectly preserved. The gentle touch of oxidation on the brass tells stories of its journey through the years, adding an authentic patina that enriches its narrative. Franco Deboni's comprehensive exploration of FontanaArte's legacy, documented in Torino, 2012, references this piece in fig. 422, further cementing its place in the intricate tapestry of mid-century furniture and design.
