Vintage oval mirror in blown Murano glass and veneered wood for Barovier and Toso, Italy 1970

This small oval-shaped mirror, set in a hand-blown Murano glass frame and backed by veneered wood, would make a perfect edition in both maximalist or minimalist rooms.. The vibrant reds, greens, and blues of the Italian glass edges draw the eye to the ovular mirror. These multicoloured embossed squares, stylistically very similar to the glasswork of Barovier & Toso, are pressed onto the clear glass when it’s hot, giving a unique and pleasing texture. The fixings on the veneered wood back are designed with a horizontal hang in mind, although one could attach new fittings to make it hang vertically. Also available is the same mirror in a larger size..
