Vintage Art Deco Bevelled ( always a sign of quality)Wall Mirror (c. 1930s) oak back
A striking original Art Deco wall mirror, dating to the 1930s, featuring the clean geometry and understated elegance that defined the period. The frameless glass is cut into a classic geometric form with deep bevelled edges, always a sign of quality designed to catch and reflect the light beautifully — a hallmark of Art Deco craftsmanship.
The mirror is mounted on its original oak wooden backboard and suspended by a period-style chain, allowing it to hang with a gentle forward tilt, typical of the era. The reverse shows age-appropriate wear, confirming its vintage authenticity.
Art Deco Context
Emerging in the 1920s and flourishing through the 1930s, the Art Deco movement celebrated modernity, symmetry, and luxury. Inspired by architecture, machinery, and the optimism of the machine age, designers favoured:
Strong geometric shapes (octagons, stepped forms, and faceted edges)
Light-reflecting materials such as glass, chrome, and mirror
Clean lines and functional elegance
Mirrors like this were popular features in entrance halls, dressing rooms, and modern apartments, where they enhanced light and created a sense of space — a practical luxury for contemporary living.
