Calvet Mirror
By Antoni Gaudí
Collection
BD Art Editions – Antoni Gaudí
In contrast with what happened in general to almost all the Modernista furniture which ended up going out of fashion, furniture designed by Gaudí is still as modern today as it was when it was first designed.
Calvet Collection
The Calvet armchair is outstanding amongst these designs because of its expressive force. It was designed along with four other pieces: stool, a mirror, a chair and a bench for the house of the same name.
Authenticity
The Calvet Mirror is numbered and accompanied by a certificate, signed by the director of the Gaudí Cathedral, certifying that they is a faithful and exact reproduction of the original designed by Antoni Gaudí.
Materials
Mirror: This is an entire, one-sided mirror.
Frame: Carved in solid oak (wood) with an optional coat of Fine Gold Leaf, made up of a fine layer of polyester, silver and yellow paint. The frame is painted respectively to give a gold colour (12 micron). The layers are glued together with Mixton (an adhesive varnish).
Finishes
The frame is made of solid oak (wood) and can either be lightly coated with a tint of dark oak, and varnish, or with the optional coat of Gold Leaf.
