PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
An enchanting example of French artisanal rattan work from the 1970s, this circular wall mirror features a wide decorative frame constructed from curved rattan loops arranged in a radiating pinwheel pattern around the central mirror glass. Each loop is individually shaped and woven from natural rattan cane, the elements overlapping slightly to create a fluid, dynamic rhythm that animates the frame with movement and light — evoking the petals of a sunflower or the swept blades of a fan.
The warm honey-brown tonality of the rattan, deepened by decades of gentle patina, harmonizes beautifully with the slightly aged mirror glass at the centre, which has developed the soft, misty quality characteristic of period glass. The interplay between the reflective mirror surface and the matte organic texture of the woven frame gives the object a quiet visual richness that belies its modest scale.
At 52 cm in diameter, this is an ideally proportioned accent mirror suited to hallways, dressing areas, or intimate interior spaces. Its cheerful, artisanal character pairs naturally with other rattan and wicker pieces, but equally finds its place in contemporary or eclectic interiors as a singular decorative note.
In good vintage condition with age-appropriate patina to the rattan and mirror glass. A joyful and unpretentious piece that captures the spirit of the French 1970s decorative interior at its most inviting.
