This gilded resin trumeau brings a refined countryside touch to the wall, sitting between a decorative mirror and a second-hand piece. Its intricately worked frame highlights the reflective surface with beautiful simplicity, while the golden finish warms the whole without weighing it down. Placed in an entrance or above a console, it also fits well in a bedroom and interacts with natural materials, from patinated wood to washed linen. Its nice height allows it to elegantly adorn a wall section while reflecting a table lamp or a floral vase. As a second-hand piece, it carries the memory of its past: a few traces of time. Length: 79 cm Width: 5 cm Height: 133.5 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. However, 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 the mirrors of previous eras, the wood is no longer sculpted but molded and coated with a glue primer. The top of the mirror frame is rounded, resembling a gendarme's hat. For decoration, pearls or acanthus leaves at the bottom enhance the cornice with a gilded effect that brightens the whole. Large mirrors installed over fireplaces bring clarity and perspective to living spaces.
