Oval wall mirror, Italy, 1950s

Italian-made wall mirror featuring an elongated oval shape with pointed ends, an elegant and graphic design typical of postwar decorative taste.

The frame is made of a wooden structure covered in wood-effect plastic, a widespread solution in Italian design between the 1950s and early 1960s, when new synthetic materials were used to create durable and decorative surfaces while maintaining the warm aesthetic of wood.

A black, embossed band runs inside the frame, creating a sharp contrast with the wood-effect covering and framing the mirror, emphasizing its oval shape. The mirror glass is slightly recessed from the frame, creating a subtle effect of depth.

The back retains the original wooden panel with a central metal hook for wall mounting.
