Art Deco Mirror Saint-Gobain, France c. 1925
Rare and forward-thinking freestanding Art Deco mirror from the 1920s, crafted by the renowned French manufacturer Saint-Gobain. Originally designed with a built-in light and a demisting heater, this mirror exemplifies the innovation and elegance of early 20th-century bathroom design.
Please note: both the lighting and heating functions are no longer operational, though part of the original wiring remains visible on the back – a tangible trace of its advanced engineering for the time.
Saint-Gobain, founded in the 17th century and globally known for excellence in glass production, was among the first to offer mirrors with integrated features. The mirror glass shows gentle aging and patina, without compromising visibility. It can be used freestanding or wall-mounted, ideal for a WC, hallway, or vanity setting.
