Early Brutalist Solid Cast Bronze Wall Mirror – c.1940s
Early Brutalist Solid Cast Bronze Wall Mirror – c.1940s (36cm)
A powerful and sculptural early Brutalist wall mirror, dating to the 1940s and cast in solid bronze. The heavily textured frame features bold, angular faceting with deep relief carving, creating a raw architectural presence typical of proto-Brutalist design.
The dark, naturally aged patina enhances the dramatic surface texture, giving the piece depth and character while highlighting the hand-cast workmanship. This mirror has a strong monolithic feel, echoing the concrete and stone forms later associated with full Brutalism in the 1950s–70s.
Retaining its original mirror plate with light age-related marks, consistent with its period. Complete with rear hanging loop.
Details:
• Date: Circa 1940s

• Material: Solid cast bronze
• Diameter: 36cm

A striking statement piece ideal for modern, industrial or mid-century interiors. Perfect for collectors of Brutalist design and architectural decorative arts.
