Brass-gold mirror with leather, following Gabriel Viardot, Art Nouveau, early 20th century – France Materials: Wood, brass and leather Style: Art Nouveau, following Gabriel Viardot Period: Early 20th century Country of origin: France Good condition for its age and use Overall dimensions: 46 x 63 x 2 cm. Mirror dimensions: 32 x 37 cm. Impressive modernist-design mirror, with a wooden core and an ornate front featuring plates of brass-gold and brown leather, following the designs of the celebrated Gabriel Viardot. Gabriel Viardot (1830-1906) was a Parisian designer, renowned worldwide for creating entirely unique pieces of furniture, with a highly personal and distinctive style. He began his production with decorative pieces, such as sculptural figures and mirrors, and soon designed larger furniture. His style is characterized by a Gothic essence reinterpreted under French modernist aesthetics, all marked by his own aesthetic signature. He also specialized in furniture of Oriental style or influence. The piece presents a bell-shaped trapezoidal form, which widens organically toward the upper part and rests on a broad base, a silhouette very typical of modernist design. The external contour breaks with traditional shapes by combining straight segments on the lower sides with pronounced sinuous curves toward the ends. It expresses the movement’s fascination with nature, elegance and ornamental fluidity. In addition to its own form, its ornamentation is based on various embossed motifs made using the repoussé technique. The two plates or sheets of brass-gold on the top show stylized dragon figures facing each other. On the remaining surface of the frame, brown leather pieces with stylized and interwoven botanical elements. All profiles are finished with rows of pyramid-shaped tacks.
