This mirror is a beautiful blend of Italian craftsmanship and modernist sensibility, paying homage to the renowned architect and designer Gio Ponti. The glass mirror's is its most distinguishing feature, meticulously crafted from high-quality glass. The brass material which holds the glass provides a lustrous and warm golden hue, evoking a sense of luxury and sophistication that was characteristic of mid-century Italian design. The glass frame's edges are gracefully curved, resembling the shape of a biscuit or cookie, hence the "Biscuit Shaped" name. The glass frame encapsulates a large expanse of clear mirrored glass, serving as the mirror's reflective surface. The mirror is elegantly shaped to complement the overall design. The combination of brass and glass creates a harmonious contrast, blending the opulence of the metal with the sleek transparency of the glass. Gio Ponti was a pioneer of modern Italian design and known for his attention to detail and innovative use of materials. His influence is clearly evident in this mirror's design, which would have been a sought-after piece during the mid-20th century and continues to be highly regarded among collectors and admirers of mid-century modern design today. Overall, the Wall Mirror is an exquisite and timeless piece of art that encapsulates the spirit of the era and represents the epitome of elegance and style in interior design. The mirror it's in very good conditions and believe me it’s the most elegant I never see. less
