Mid-Century Modernist Scallop Design Reverse-Etched & Beveled Mirror

This elegant Mid-Century Modernist Scallop Design Reverse-Etched & Beveled Mirror originated in France, circa 1960. A deep circular central glass plate serves as the focus, encircled by multiple scalloped mirrored panels that form a petal-like border and create a bold radial composition. Each scallop carries reverse-etched floral and dotted ornamentation, where frosted motifs sit in contrast to the clear silvered glass and introduce a finely engraved decorative language. A continuous band of faceted beveling surrounds the central mirror and catches ambient light to produce a subtle prismatic sparkle across the surface. The construction is composed of individually cut mirrored segments layered to build depth and a stepped profile that reads as both decorative and architectural. Small applied glass rosettes mark the scallop intersections while a narrow beaded rim provides a crisp transition to the central reflective surface, together creating a rhythm of relief and refraction. The overall effect amplifies room light and complements a variety of interiors with mid century sensibilities. It presents balanced proportions and is presented in very good vintage condition.
