A pair of cast glass mirrors by Carl Fagerlund for Orrefors
These large and impressive rectangular mirrors set in a molded cast glass frame and beaded glass inner edge are incredibly well crafted and exquisitely detailed. The weight of these mirrors is substantial and it is very rare to find a pair of them together. They are manufactured in the 1940s by famed Swedish glassworks Orrefors and designed by Carl Fagerlund, both which are hallmarks of quality.

Carl Fagerlund
Carl Fagerlund is known for his work as a designer, particularly in the field of lighting design. He gained recognition in the mid-20th century for his elegant and innovative designs, often combining functionality with artistic expression.
