Details
An exceptional example of authentic French mid-century design, this original Audoux and Minet rope mirror represents the pinnacle of 1950s French Riviera craftsmanship. Handcrafted in the legendary workshop of Golfe-Juan (Juan Les Pins) on the French Riviera, this circular mirror showcases the innovative design philosophy that made Audoux and Minet pioneers of modernist furniture.
Designer Heritage & Provenance Created by the influential design duo Adrien Audoux and Frida Minet, this rope mirror exemplifies their revolutionary approach to natural materials. Working alongside renowned modernist designers including Louis Sognot, Charlotte Perriand, and Pierre Chareau, Audoux and Minet established their French Riviera workshop in 1929, becoming masters of rope and raffia furniture that redefined mid-century French design.
Exceptional Craftsmanship The mirror features a meticulously woven circular frame crafted from premium abaca hemp rope, showcasing the duo's signature nautical-inspired aesthetic. The invisible rope joints and expert weaving techniques demonstrate the superior handcrafted quality that made Audoux and Minet pieces highly sought after by collectors worldwide. Each rope mirror was individually created using traditional French Riviera techniques passed down through generations of artisans.
Authentic Vintage Condition This 32cm diameter mirror retains its original wooden backing and metal hanging ring, ready for immediate display. The glass shows characteristic light rust-colored markings that contribute to its authentic vintage patina and historical charm. These age-appropriate signs of wear are typical of genuine 1950s Audoux and Minet pieces and enhance rather than detract from its collectible value. The end of the rope is also slightly frayed, though this is not visible from the front of the mirror.
Investment & Collectibility Audoux and Minet rope mirrors have become increasingly collectible, with authentic pieces commanding premium prices in international markets. This particular example represents excellent value for collectors seeking original French Riviera design with documented provenance. The combination of historical significance, exceptional craftsmanship, and growing market demand makes this mirror both a stunning decorative piece and a sound design investment.
