Authentic Models Bass Mirror ‘Stradivarius’Literally the front section of a bass instrument, lifted off so to speak, opened up and fitted with a mirror. Man Ray visually melded the back of one of his female models with the F-holes of a cello painted on. This mirror reminds one of that art work. Its sensual shape combines with the rich varnish and superb craftsmanship of a unique accessory, a work of art, signed and dated, offered in a strictly limited edition. The classic violin and cello form as we know it was created in Italy before 1700. Possibly the most famous of all luthiers was Stradivarius, who lived in Cremona, Italy from 1644-1737. Surviving instruments from this master builder go by their own proper names, and their history is fully documented. No need to say that a Strad is revered by its owner. The classic Stradivarius cello and bass was AM's inspiration. AM has created a fanciful, whimsical mini collection of home accessories for lovers of the quirky, classical, and neo-classical. All these objects have been hand made in a musical instrument factory, specializing in stringed instruments. All are finished in hand applied stains and shellac varnishes. M. 14 x 68 x 120cm, 5.5 x 26.75 x 47.25” Cello Mirror 7.55 kg, 16.6 lbs. Hanging hardware included.
