A French Giltwood Oval Mirror in the Manner of Line Vautrin, C 1970.

A French giltwood oval mirror in the manner of Line Vautrin, C 1970. The sunburst style frame having four stepped layers of smaller mirrors surrounding central oval looking glass. This contemporary, handmade mirror is inspired by the work of renowned Parisian artist & jewelry designer Line Vautrin (1913-1997). During the post WWII era, she created a variety of bold sunburst style mirrors using a material of her own invention, Talosel, which was similar to resin. The production of these mirrors began in the 1950s and continued on with approximately 70 different designs finally documented. In February 2023, a feature in Architectural Digest mentioned how Vautrin’s “spellbinding reflectors have captivated the design world for decades.” Adding this reimagined and dramatic version of Vautrin’s work to your collection will certainly add some “room bling” and joie de vivre to your own home decor.
