A striking late 20th-century decorative mirror, framed by an intricate lattice of stainless steel and copper rods, hand-worked into a sinuous, almost botanical surround. The frame coils and twists with an organic rhythm, punctuated by small, bud-like terminations that lend the piece a tactile, botanical quality.
There is a strong sculptural sensibility at play here — less a frame in the traditional sense, more an object that happens to hold a mirror. The interplay between the cool gleam of stainless steel and the warmer, oxidised notes of copper creates depth and tonal variation, shifting subtly with the light and the room around it.
The overall effect recalls the poetic functionalism associated with Claude Lalanne — that blurred boundary between art, nature and utility — without slipping into pastiche. It feels discovered rather than designed; something grown, assembled, and allowed to remain slightly unruly.
Generously scaled at 107 × 79 cm, the mirror can be hung portrait or landscape, making it equally suited to an entrance hall, above a console, or as a statement piece anchoring a living space. A rare and characterful object that rewards close inspection and brings a distinctly sculptural presence to the wall.
