Petite Italian Bamboo Wall Mirror, 1960s
An Italian bamboo wall mirror from the 1960s, petite in scale but remarkably intricate in its construction. The oval mirror is surrounded by an openwork frame built from slender lengths of bamboo.
Closely spaced loops radiate outward from the center, joined by a continuous woven band that follows the perimeter. A second, denser layer of basket-like weaving encircles the mirror itself, creating a gradual transition from the smooth reflective glass to the more tactile outer structure.
What makes the piece especially compelling is the amount of handwork contained within such a light frame. Individual lengths are bent, wrapped, crossed, and bound together rather than concealed behind a solid surround. The construction becomes the decoration, creating small openings that allow the wall to remain visible and give the mirror an almost lace-like quality.
Age has deepened the bamboo to warm honey and chestnut tones, while its petite proportions make it particularly versatile, equally suited to a narrow entry, powder room, above a small console, or incorporated into a larger arrangement of artwork and objects.
