Crystal and Gilt Illuminated Mirror by PALWA, Germany c.1970
Brass, gold plate and crystal - this mirror seems the height of over-the-top 1960s glam but the effect is genuinely pleasing, magical and delicate.
PALWA (Palme & Walter) is a German company that still makes crystal chandeliers by hand, from scratch. This is craftsmanship of the highest order, as their company motto says, 'For over 80 years the artists and craftsmen of PLAWA have been producing masterpieces in the art of lighting'.
Gold plated brass rings mounted with over 400 hand-cut and faceted crystals. An electrically wired backing plate holds eight (max 40 Watt) lights, illuminating the mirror and surrounds. You may choose to have it hardwired into the wall or, on request, we can have it wired with a cord and in-line switch to your required length.
