French Ceramic Wall Mirror by Roger Capron, 1950s
A petite 1950s wall mirror by French ceramicist Roger Capron. The terracotta-toned ceramic frame, hand-painted with geometric and floral motifs, captures the essence of Mediterranean folk art. Its arched silhouette, reminiscent of a sunlit window, gives this artisan-made piece an architectural element. Signed 'R. Capron’ and dated at the bottom right.
Roger Capron redefined ceramics, infusing an ancient art form with new life and leaving a lasting mark on mid-century design. Born in 1922 in Vincennes, France, he drew inspiration from the pottery traditions of Vallauris, where he settled after studying in Paris. In 1946, he co-founded l'Atelier Callis, producing ceramics that reflected the earthy tones and geometric forms of Provence.
By the 1960s, Capron expanded beyond vases and tiles into furniture, crafting tables that were functional works of art. His work captured the essence of post-war optimism—creating something lasting, something meaningful.
