Fontana Arte mirror with brass frame, Italy, 1950s
-
Description
A charming mirror with brass frame, Italian manufacture, Fontana Arte production, 1950s
The Fontana Arte brand has always been associated with decorative and lighting elements that place glass at the heart of the design. This material becomes truly precious when shaped by the skilled hands of master glassmakers to bring the visions of great architects to life. Even in a small object like this—a mirror encased in a gently contoured brass frame—the brand’s entire design legacy and commitment to aesthetic research is clearly visible.
The combination of materials—one fragile and delicate, the other durable with golden undertones—coexists here without apparent tension. This is no coincidence. From grand chandeliers to decorative accessories, FontanaArte’s design philosophy revolves around the harmonious balance of opposites: glass and metal, design and craftsmanship, past and future.
The mirror is in excellent overall condition, with no flaws on the glass and an even, original patina on the brass frame.
