PIERRE LOTTIER (France, 1916 - Santa Susana, Spain, 1987). Pair of replica mirrors Bilbao Mirror, 60's. Painted wood and metal. Signatures on the back. Presents marks of use and wear. Measurements: 103 x 57,5 x 6 cm. The so-called "Bilbao Mirrors" were characterized by being made of pink marble adhered to wood and having thin columns with delicate plaster decorations, often with an urn or painting in the center. The name of the mirror comes from the pink marble that originated in Bilbao. They were shipped to port cities along the east coast of the United States, most notably New England. Born into a family of artists (his father was the famous restaurateur and namesake Pierre Lottier who founded in 1880 "La Reserve" on the Côte d'Azur, one of the high society establishments most valued by millionaires and aristocrats), Pierre Lottier settled in the 1930s in Madrid, set apart by French society. He came into contact with the Spanish elite of the time as a procurer of important works of art, especially porcelain and oriental bronzes. In the 1950s he settled between Madrid and Barcelona. He collaborated with important design houses such as Casa Valentí or Casa Gancedo for the most historical fabrics. Pierre Lottier began emulating the career of Marc du Plantier and the famous Maison Jansen in Paris. His beginnings were based on the purity of the French "Grand Gout", mainly centered on Louis XV and XVI styles. Later, in the 1950's, it drifted to the English styles typical of the late 18th century: Hepplewhite, Adam, Chippendale, Sheraton or Gillwood were the surnames with which Lottier was most inspired. By 1970 the style drifted into a more modern wake. His new designs were based on Art Deco and classical rationalism, typical of a new, more intellectual society.
