Length: 63 cm Depth: 3.5 cm Height: 87.5 cm A brief history of the Louis Philippe mirror At that time, the mirrors of great monarchs were recognizable by their cornices laden with decorations. But during the reign of Louis-Philippe, a bourgeois style developed, less concerned with originality than with comfort. The Louis-Philippe mirrors aimed to be more sober and streamlined. Unlike mirrors from previous eras, the wood was no longer carved, but molded and coated with a glue primer. The top of the mirror frame is rounded, resembling a gendarme's hat. For decoration, beads or acanthus leaves at the bottom highlight the cornice with a gold leaf effect that brightens the whole. Large mirrors placed above fireplaces bring clarity and perspective to living spaces.
