Mirror, c. 1930. Paul Fehér (American, born Hungary, 1898–1990), Rose Iron Works (American, Cleveland, est. 1904). Wrought iron, brass, silver, gold plating, glass; 182.9 x 114.3 x 6.4 cm (72 x 45 x 2 1/2 in.). The Cleveland Museum of Art, Leonard C. Hanna, Jr. Fund 2020.217 © Rose Iron Works Collections, LLC The Rose Iron Works in Cleveland embraced the modern aesthetic of geometric patterning, with highly stylized and abstracted natural forms, in their designs by Hungarian-born Paul Fehér, who came from Paris to work for the company. Despite the stock market crash in 1929, the company continued to produce such designs in the hope that prosperity would soon return. However, this mirror remained unsold in their studio as the Great Depression took hold.
