About the Item
These two mirrors, originally from an important Florentine residence, showcase distinctive features of mid-century Italian style, with a design that recalls the elegance and refinement typical of Milanese architect and designer Paolo Buffa.
The sinuous, asymmetrical frames are crafted from lacquered and carved wood, with smooth finishes that demonstrate obsessive attention to detail. The teardrop shape, with wavy edges and shell decorations on both the top and bottom, reflects the neoclassical and baroque influences that Buffa often incorporated into his work, adapting it to a modern aesthetic of the 1940s and 1950s.
The symmetry between the two mirrors suggests a use intended for sophisticated settings, such as living rooms or the entryways of Italian villas of the period, where harmony and discreet luxury were paramount.
