Length: 51 cm Width: 5 cm Height: 59 cm A brief history of the Louis Philippe mirror At the 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 for a more sober and streamlined look. Unlike the mirrors of previous eras, the wood is 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 emphasize the cornice with a gold leaf effect that brightens everything. Large mirrors placed above fireplaces add clarity and perspective to living spaces.
