This dark bamboo mirror adds a soft country note, with a sober and natural presence. Sourced second-hand, its bamboo frame easily complements an entry console, a dresser, or a wall in light shades, while the mirror discreetly captures the light. Its format allows it to be installed in a hallway, a bedroom, or above a low piece of furniture, where it suits both rustic decor and a more streamlined interior. Placed above a small catch-all and a ceramic vase, it creates a delicate welcoming corner. As a second-hand piece, it retains the memory of its past: a few traces of time. Length: 37 cm Width: 3 cm Height: 43 cm A brief history of the Louis Philippe mirror In those days, 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 simpler and more refined. Unlike mirrors from previous eras, the wood is no longer carved but molded and coated with a glue primer. The top of the mirror's 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 illuminates the whole piece. Large mirrors placed over fireplaces bring clarity and perspective to living spaces.
