The story
Rare set of two “déchiquetée” talosel resin mirrors made by Line Vautrin in the mid-1960s. They are both untouched, with their original mirrors. The talosel resin has been patinated in rich shades of brown. They both measure Width 4.53 inches x Height 5.12 inches x Depth 0.59 inches, with slight differences due to their shape. These are two highly collectible pieces, with a strong presence, and are found in a very good vintage condition. One similar mirror sold at Christie’s for €7,450 in November 26th 2007 in Paris, auction “Collection Anne Bokelberg - Bijoux et Boîtes de Line Vautrin”.
Literature : Line Vautrin, Poesie in Metall, p.163, number 145.
About Line Vautrin
French artist (1913-1997) who began in the 1930s with gilt bronze jewellery, buttons and boxes rich in wordplay and poetic imagery. From the 1950s she developed Talosel, a cellulose acetate resin inlaid with coloured mirror fragments, which she used for her famous mirrors, including the Soleil à pointes. Collectors seek signed mirrors in good condition, whose delicate material makes them increasingly rare.
