Furgieri, 1960s","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn Italian round wall mirror by M. Furgieri, circa 1960, sourced in Milan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe circular mirror plate is framed by a wide band of gold-plated glass, intricately sand-jet engraved with a continuous procession of stylized figures, animals and geometric symbols. Arranged in small narrative panels, the imagery draws on ancient and Egyptian-inspired visual language, with human figures appearing alongside horses, birds and other animals. The density of the decoration rewards a closer look, with individual scenes emerging from the gold-toned surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurgieri is known for a small body of distinctive Italian mirrors from the 1960s that combine engraved glass with precious-metal finishes. Documented examples were produced in both gold-plated and silver-plated versions, with sand-jet engraving used to build intricate decoration directly into the glass. The technique gives the perimeter an almost relief-like quality while preserving the lightness and transparency of the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA clear outer rim extends just beyond the engraved border, giving the mirror a layered construction while keeping its profile visually light. The original mirror plate has developed extensive foxing and losses to the silvering, creating a heavily antiqued surface. Rather than obscuring the design, the aged center draws greater attention to the intricately etched perimeter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSigned “M. Furgieri.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"South Loop Loft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53046179692855,"sku":null,"price":3900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/0135\/0967\/files\/aoITEQDD-8DTWpX2OKW-fEOaP4aT3D6cKdqKYTIp6cg.jpg?v=1790714934","url":"https:\/\/thesouthlooploft.com\/products\/italian-gold-plated-glass-round-wall-mirror-by-m-furgieri-1960s","provider":"South Loop Loft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
