Line Vautrin

Patrick Mauriès, Line Vautrin: Miroirs, Galerie Chastel-Maréchal, Paris, 2004, pp. 114-115

Overall in very good condition. When viewed in person, the mirror presents with a highly nuanced luminous ruby red. The surfaces with minor surface scratches, minor abrasions and light surface dirt to the recessed portions of the design consistent with age and gentle use. With a few cracks to the inserts and minor losses to the resin, visible in the catalogue illustration and which are not at all visually distractive. One of the shorter black points at the center lower edge with a minute loss at the end, only visible upon close inspection. The convex mirror presents with minor surface scratches and light surface dirt consistent with gentle use. A wonderful mirror of great scale and strong visual impact.
