1940's GILT CONVEX MIRROR IN FORM OF SUNFLOWER

SIZE: DIA90CM

ITALY, 1940

Venetian convex glass mirrors date back to the 1300’s. They were considered to have magical powers to ward off unwanted forces but evolved into a decorative item for the home, and continue to be placed as a focal point in doorways/entrances to this day. This 1940’s Italian ‘sunflower’ burst design is particularly alluring owing to its inverted gilt metal petals and the sheer size.
