Paolo Buffa
Paolo Buffa
Italian, 1903-1970 With a surname that loosely translates to a synonym for “bizarre” in Italian, Milanese designer and architect Paolo Buffa is best known for capturing the best of both old and new in his plush, enveloping lounge chairs and wingback chairs as well as his range of modern tables, each dazzling and provocative but built using classical techniques. Purposely playful and airy, mid-century Italian interiors encouraged merriment and socializing.

€5.179
An exquisite and grandly scaled full-length wall mirror, designed by Paolo Buffa and finely crafted in Italy during the 1940s. Measuring 32" wide by 48" high, this elegant piece features a beautifully shaped cherrywood bracket at the bottom, complemented by a charming and distinctive brass accent at the top. Remarkably, the original mirror glass has been well preserved. It has a subtly proportioned trapezoidal form with gently rounded corners, framed by a clear glass border adorned with gracefully etched decorative elements. The mirror is in very good condition. The glass is intact, with no chips or cracks. A few small black spot—typical signs of age—are present and should be appreciated as part of the mirror’s authentic patina, rather than seen as imperfections. This is a refined and stylish piece—perfect for an entryway, living room, bedroom, or even as a mantel mirror above a fireplace. It brings a touch of 1940s Italian mid-century charm and elegance to any interior. Dimensions: 32" W x 48" H x 1“ D
