Mirror And Console

This is a Mirror and Console.

This object is not part of the Cooper Hewitt's permanent collection. It was able to spend time at the museum on loan from Stephen E. Kelly//Kelly Gallery, New York as part of The Jazz Age: American Style in the 1920s.

It is dated ca. 1925. Its medium is wrought iron, marble, and mirrored glass.

The French designer Edgar Brandt spurred a revival of interest in interior furnishings made of iron in the 1920s. Brandt's romantic swags and foliate decoration relate to Louis Süe's giltwood mirror of 1923 at the other end of the gallery, but in petite proportions better suited to apartment living.

It is credited Stephen E. Kelly/Kelly Gallery, New York.

A decorative and elegant black iron firescreen with numerous, stylized curling tendrils in varying sizes contained within a rectilinear double border; at center, brilliant, golden gilt leaves surround a nude figure holding a swag-like drape, smaller gilt tendrils, and a ring of gilt pearls. Gilt leaves accent the larger panel as if fallen from a tree onto the curling tendrils at irregular intervals; they are shaped simply in an almond-like motif. The interior border is etched with spaced lines; the exterior border is smooth. The firescreen is held upright with two rectangular footings, spaced and perpendicular to the screen itself.
