PAIR OF ITALIAN FUTURIST MIRRORS
A fine pair of early 20th century Futurist movement mirrors in carved mahogany timber, partially ebonised to accentuate the graphic form. The boldly contrasting three dimensional frames fitted with earlier, subtly-foxed silver plates. Original backs and hanging hardware, each frame with the makers initials BM to the reverse.
Italian, c. 1920.
W31 x H34 cm
Italian Futurism was founded in 1909 and led by poet and art theorist Filippo Tommaso Marinetti. A radical, avant-garde artistic and social movement which looked to embrace technology and dynamism, moving away from traditional aesthetics and practices.
