1950s Cristal Art Verde Nilo Wall Mirror
A magnificent and highly decorative example of Italian mid-century design, this authentic 1950s Cristal Art wall mirror combines exceptional craftsmanship with the glamour and sophistication for which the celebrated Italian maker is renowned.
The mirror features a beautifully shaped mirrored plate framed by rare Verde Nilo glass, prized for its delicate mint-green tint that subtly shifts with the light. This distinctive coloured glass border creates depth and elegance, setting the piece apart from more commonly encountered Cristal Art mirrors. Decorative gilt brass studs run along each side, while ornate brass rosettes adorn the corners, adding a refined jewellery-like quality to the design. The original twisted rope suspension completes the look, lending a sense of theatrical charm and effortless Italian style.
Crafted from thick, high-quality glass, this mirror has a substantial weight and presence, reflecting the superior materials and production standards associated with Cristal Art's finest pieces. More than simply functional, it serves as a sculptural work of art, bringing light, texture and character to any interior.
Produced during the golden age of Italian decorative arts, this mirror embodies the elegance and optimism of post-war design. Its timeless aesthetic makes it equally suited to mid-century modern, Hollywood Regency, eclectic, contemporary and traditional interiors.
Whether placed in an entryway, powder room, bedroom, dressing room or living space, this exceptional mirror creates an immediate focal point and adds a layer of sophistication that only authentic vintage Italian design can provide.
Condition
Good vintage condition consistent with age and use. As shown in the photographs, there are small chips to some corners and minor wear to the mirrored edges.
