Pair of Mid-Century Modernist Curvilinear Hourglass Form Brass Wrapped Mirrors
This beautifully crafted pair of Mid-Century Modern mirrors, originating from Italy circa 1950, is a striking example of sculptural refinement in functional design. The mirrors feature an elegant hourglass form, with curvilinear silhouettes that evoke soft, flowing geometry. Wrapped in brass frames, these pieces epitomize the restrained luxury and bold design ethos of Mid-Century Modern artistry.
The hourglass form imbues the mirrors with a sense of organic elegance, softening their linear structure with graceful curves. This unique curvilinear shape adds visual interest, making the mirrors not only practical, but also decorative focal points in any space. The overall design reflects the Italian Mid-Century approach of blending artistic elements with utility.
Surrounding each mirror is a brass-wrapped frame, with its warm golden tone creating a timeless contrast to the reflective glass. The brass develops a naturally aged patina that further enhances its character, while highlighting the craftsmanship and attention to detail. The interplay of the curvilinear hourglass shape and the luxurious brass creates a harmonious and sophisticated aesthetic. Their distinctive shape makes them suitable as standalone statement pieces, while displayed as a pair, they create symmetry and balance. Styling beautifully in a wide array of spaces and settings, from Mid-Century Modernist to Contemporary and Minimal Interiors. In Excellent Vintage Condition.
