The Chaty Vallauris starburst or sunburst mirror is an icon of mid-20th century French design.
Based in Provence, France, the firm produced decorative metal-framed mirrors notably the sunburst mirrors with convex centers.
The rope detail that borders the mirror plate is a signature design feature of their pieces, as are the elegant 'rays' that extend outwards at all angles.
