Large Diamond-Shaped Wall Mirror by Luigi Brusotti for Fontana Arte, 1950s

A large and rare diamond-shaped wall mirror designed by Luigi Brusotti for Fontana Arte in the 1950s. The piece encapsulates the poetic material experimentation and refined craftsmanship that defined Italian glass production in the postwar period.

The composition is structured around a precise internal brass frame that outlines the geometric silhouette with warmth and clarity. Surrounding it, the distinctive Nile green mirrored glass is entirely hand-cut and shaped - a hallmark of Fontana Arte's artisanal approach. Subtle irregularities and nuanced transitions at the corners and junctions reveal the unmistakable traces of hand-finishing, lending depth and authenticity to the piece.

The reflective surface displays a finely speckled patina resulting from the natural aging of the silvering layer beneath the glass. This gentle oxidation creates a soft atmospheric texture that enhances visual richness while preserving full functionality. Patinated brass side buttons secure the structure and introduce a measured architectural rhythm, reinforcing the sculptural presence of the mirror.

An exceptional and highly decorative statement piece, where brass, glass, and reflection interact in a composition that feels both rigorous and sensual.
