About the Item
This refined pair of Italian mirrors exemplifies the expressive elegance of the Liberty style-Italy's interpretation of Art Nouveau-through a sculptural vocabulary of sinuous vegetal motifs and fluid asymmetry. Carved in solid walnut, each frame presents a subtly differentiated composition, suggesting handcraftsmanship rather than serial production, and reinforcing their artistic individuality.
The frames are animated by rhythmic whiplash lines, foliate scrolls, and softly modeled floral elements, all carved in low to medium relief. The carving is confident yet lyrical, allowing the natural warmth and depth of the walnut to enhance the ornamental language. The mirrored surfaces are set within gently undulating inner profiles, creating a dialogue between reflection and carved matter.
Preserved in the personal environment of architect Gianantonio Malacrida, these mirrors resonate with his documented affinity for historic decorative arts, particularly those that privilege line, craftsmanship, and organic structure. Their presence within his collection reflects a continuity between early 20th-century artisanal culture and the later modernist sensibility that informed his architectural and design work.
Ideal for use as a pair or individually, these mirrors function both as decorative objects and as architectural accents, capable of anchoring interiors ranging from period settings to eclectic contemporary spaces.
