Vintage Free Standing Teak Cantata Range Cheval Mirror by Stag
Pickup currently unavailable
This beautifully modest 1960s teak cheval mirror is the perfect piece to inject some retro charm to your home. The clean straight lines and uncomplicated design really give this mirror a simple elegance which is sure to look lovely in any dressing room.
Although ever so slightly different in design from some of the ones we've had in the past, we think this mirror was designed by Ron Carter as part of his first range as design consultant for Stag in 1966. The 1966 catalogue said of the 'Cantata' range that it was the perfect range for a modern house or flat, as great care had been taken to achieve the maximum amount of storage space without increasing the outside dimensions.
Carter, who died in 2013 has been described by many as the foremost furniture designer of his generation. Users of the British Library, in London, sit gratefully cocooned in ultra-comfortable leather-seated chairs purpose-designed by him.
With wear to the glass commensurate with age including some foxing, tarnish and some scratching towards the bottom (that we've been unable to capture on camera). The frame itself is in general nice condition again with some wear commensurate with age and as photographed. It has been given a fresh coat of oil, cleaning and conditioning the wood ensuring it looks its best once more.
Please note that it is incredibly difficult to photograph all flaws and scratching on mirrors due to all the reflections, but we have captured and described as best we can.
Measures approximately 39cm wide, 135.5cm tall and 43cm deep.
