Italian Mid-Century Hallway Mirror by Pier Luigi Colli for Cristal Art, Model 2637, 1950

Height: 230 cm (90.55 in.) - Width: 129 cm (50.79 in.)

An exceptional and rare Italian mid-century modern hallway mirror with integrated console shelf, model 2637, designed by Pier Luigi Colli for Cristal Art in 1950.

This stunning piece exemplifies the elegance and craftsmanship of postwar Italian design. The mirror features a gently tapered form with beautifully beveled and etched smoked glass panels, delicately decorated with stylized leaf motifs, joined with brass rosettes. A floating glass shelf rests on a hand-forged, gilt wrought iron console characterized by intricate scrollwork and finely hammered textures, showcasing Colli’s sculptural approach to metalwork.

Perfect as an entrance statement piece or dressing mirror, this work captures the refined glamour typical of Cristal Art, one of Italy’s leading glass manufacturers of the mid-century period.
