DESCRIPTION
Brutalist oval mirror. France, ca. 1950.
Hand-forged iron with incisions.
Condition: good. Shows slight signs of wear consistent with its age.
Measurements: 80 x 70 cm.
This mid-century French mirror stands out for the expressive power of its iron frame, crafted with hand-carved incisions that enliven the entire metal surface. The oval composition is surrounded by an openwork structure—almost like a sunburst—formed by repeating modules that alternate between rounded profiles and small pointed shapes, creating an ornamental rhythm with a distinct sculptural presence.
Its Brutalist character is evident in the raw materiality of the iron, its irregular texture, and the deliberate choice to showcase the handiwork as an essential part of the piece’s value. Its combination of geometry, craftsmanship, and material-formal expressiveness places it within the postwar French taste for interior objects with a strong visual presence.
