Vintage French Ceramic Mirror by François Lembo, 1970s

About This Piece

Vintage Design

French vintage ceramic wall mirror by François Lembo (circa 1970s). A whimsically decorated, small rectangular wall mirror with gold coloured inner and outer borders framing a series of reddish-brown enamel squares which seem filled like a luxurious baking tray of candied sweets. This piece is in good overall condition with both vintage character and Provençal charm. There is a yellow ceramic backing and hanging ring on the reverse side along with the signature of François Lembo. It is a cheerful and uplifting piece sure to provoke smiles and conversation. Upon request, a video can be provided. About the Artist : A native of Vallauris, François Lembo (1930-2013) started his pottery career in 1951 in the workshops of Calva and Rossignol. After his apprenticeship he worked for 3 years in his father-in-law, Marc Roussel's, studio, before opening his own in the famed town of Vallauris, France in 1960. The work of Roussel, influenced by Byzantine art, inspired Lembo to create mirrors often decorated in the style of Russian icons. He produced a number of religious icons decorated with small ceramic beads and sold his work at "Terre de Provence" with considerable success in the 60s and 70s. He worked as a ceramicist for some 23 years and passed away in 2013. His son Renaud continues as a ceramicist in Vallauris. Dimensions : H 21 cm / 8.3" W 16 cm / 6.3" D 2 cm / 0.8".
