Il privè del bar viene riprodotto nella versione ***vicentina speculare***.
This is a description of an art installation that includes the reproduction (full-size replica) of a section of a private room in a Paris bar. The description is part of a video tour for visitors to the gallery. Any ideas?
Perhaps an archaic architectural term, maybe?

: I'm guessing the one in Vicenza is a mirror image (does that mean reversed?) of the one in Paris. But why not share your references?

: Even if this is factually correct would need to be re-worded because before seeing all Disc comments, I automatically envisioned a mirror there. "mirror each other" is a bit vague (here) & if they are "mirror images" this is the wrong way to explain it.

Discussion
I have never heard of "mirror" being used as a verb for "reproduce". And, although it can be said that "X is a mirror image of Y" in order to suggest the two are identical, this still does not necessarily mean that one has been intentionally reproduced to look identical to the other.
I assume it's something to do with mirror images.
