Rare Mid-Century Bevelled Mirror with Tropical Palm Motif - c.1940s-50s

One-of-a-kind tropical nostalgia, with weight and presence.

Bring a touch of vintage coastal charm to your space with this mid-century bevel-edged mirror, featuring a reverse-painted tropical palm scene. Pieces like this were a beloved feature of Australian and British homes in the 1940s–50s, often hung over mantles, dressing tables, or in hallways to add a decorative flourish.

The mirror features angled bevelled edges and chamfered corners, a classic design detail of the era that catches the light beautifully. The reverse-painted palm motif evokes post-war leisure and escapism - a time when tropical imagery was a popular export for coastal homes.

Still backed with its original timber panel and fitted with a period chain hanger, this mirror has retained its authentic character over the decades. A rare and nostalgic find that brings vintage personality to modern interiors.
