About the Item

Michel Salerno, a master metal-smith born in nice, has been a professor at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts for twenty-five years. Using centuries-old techniques, and evoking motifs older still, Salerno produces work that, nonetheless, is strikingly contemporary. This innovative character is managed by reflection. While the pieces are framed in classically lush, bronze details, often depicting natural subjects, the 'mirrors' themselves are dark, opaque, or dappled, and produce at best an irresolute image. In effect, the pieces draw a stark contrast between the timeless quality of art and the mortal quality of those bustling around it.

Brutalist Mirror in hammered copper in the style of A. Bragalini, Italy 1960s

Brutalist Mirror in hammered copper in the style of A. Bragalini, Italy 1960s

Located in Roma, IT

A mid-century mirror with an unusual and sinuous shape, the circular shape becomes three-dimensional, rising and falling, creating waves and craters just like the lunar surface. This vintage mirror is made in Italy between the 50s and 60s and recalls the work of the artist Angeli Bragalini due to its sculptural style, techniques used and use of copper. Angelo Bragalini was an Italian architect and sculptor who mastered goldsmithing techniques which he used to create works of art but also to create artefacts and furnishing accessories in his material of choice: copper. He also collaborated on the creation of scenographic elements for iconic films such as 8 1/2 (1963) and Juliet of the Spirits...
