Art Deco mirror. France, ca. 1930.
Silver plated bronze.
Measurements: 44 x 78 x 3 cm.
The representation of tennis players in this French Art Deco mirror from the 1930s responds to the cultural context of the time, in which tennis had established itself as a modern, elegant sport associated with the elite, a symbol of sophistication and cosmopolitan life. At the same time, Art Deco showed a clear fascination for movement, speed and the body in action, finding in these figures an ideal motif to develop dynamic, stylized and geometric compositions. The elongated and angular postures of the players, together with elements such as the net or the racket, generate visual rhythms that are integrated into the structure of the object, making the decoration an essential part of its architecture and reinforcing that characteristic synthesis between modernity, sport and elegance.
