Enhance your interior with this elegant mirror, featuring a wooden frame and beveled glass that add a touch of sophistication. The fine geometric frieze in marquetry, blending gold and black, creates a subtle contrast that attracts the eye while remaining discreet. Perfect for visually enlarging a space or simply adding a note of style to your decor, this mirror integrates harmoniously into various settings. Some signs of wear add to its authenticity. Width: 63 cm Depth: 3 cm Height: 83 cm A little history of the Louis Philippe mirror At that time, the mirrors of great monarchs were recognizable by their cornices filled with decorations. However, during the reign of Louis-Philippe, a bourgeois style developed, less concerned with originality than with comfort. Louis-Philippe mirrors aimed to be more understated and 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 installed over fireplaces bring brightness and perspective to living spaces.
