Brutalist "Porthole" Mirror in Wrought Iron by Léopold Gest – 1960s

Splendid circular mirror suspended in hammered wrought iron, an emblematic work by the French metalworker and designer Léopold Gest, dating from the 1960s. A true testament to the Brutalist movement, this mirror stands out with its powerful frame featuring a textured, raw, and mineral finish, entirely handcrafted. True to Léopold Gest's unique craftsmanship, the back of the glass is sealed and weighted using traditional techniques (fine layer of original concrete/cement), ensuring its stability and the authenticity of the piece. It is topped with its original suspension ring, forged from solid material, allowing for easy wall mounting and a stunning effect. With its convex mirror (witch's mirror type), it beautifully plays with light and adds a unique depth to your interior. A rare collectible piece, highly decorative, ideal for enthusiasts of 20th-century design, art metalwork, and interiors with a strong character. 📏 Features and Dimensions: Designer: Léopold Gest (France) Period: 1950s / 1960s Style: Brutalist, Mid-Century Modern Materials: Wrought iron / beaten iron, mirror, sealed back Total diameter (including frame): 23 cm Condition: Excellent vintage condition.
