"Art Deco Mirror By Maurice Dufrene Presented At The 1919 Salon Of Decorative Artists "
This cheval mirror is distinguished by its oval shape, mounted on a richly ornamented base. The mirror is framed by a lacquered wood structure in cream tones, highlighted with black and gold fillets, creating an elegant and refined contrast. Presented in 1919, this piece illustrates the stylistic transition of the post-war period: Dufrêne still blends a taste for naturalistic ornament with a more modern quest for order and balance. The work also testifies to the role of the Salon as a showcase for the renewal of French decorative arts, foreshadowing the aesthetic that would culminate at the 1925 Exposition. In superb condition
