Christofle Silver-Plated 1930s Vanity Mirror by Luc Lanel
Finely silver-plated and made from the famed ‘Gallia’ alloy, which allowed Christofle’s silversmiths to experiment with bold and avant-garde designs, it is easy to see why, in the 1930s, Luc Lanel chose to collaborate with these artisans to produce this elegant, confidently styled Art Deco vanity mirror.
Every element is expertly proportioned: from the bevelled mirrored glass, with a small, balanced handle matching its hinges, to the tapered, stepped, rectangular base. The refined, geometrical style which characterises Luc Lanel’s work is evident throughout, and joining the clean lines of the column supports are two impeccable, spherical finials, rare to see intact: the perfect counterpoint in the carefully considered form of a superb Art Deco design.

Height: 16.15 in (41 cm)
Width: 12.21 in (31 cm)
Depth: 3.75 in (9.5 cm)
