Length: 60 cm Width: 1 cm Height: 42 cm A brief story 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 understated 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 golden effect from gold leaf that illuminates the entire piece. Large mirrors placed over fireplaces bring clarity and perspective to living spaces.
