Orange Painted Thonet Tabletop Vanity Mirror, Europe, 1940s

A wonderfully playful and eye-catching mid-century tabletop vanity mirror in a vivid burnt orange lacquered finish, its round mirror plate held within a circular frame supported by two sinuous S-curved arms that extend into upturned hook ends, all mounted on an oval base with small rubber feet. The swivel mirror can be angled as needed, and the bold orange colour and organic curving lines give the piece an unmistakably 1960s character. A highly decorative and functional object that doubles as a statement piece on a dressing table, desk, or mantle.
