Width: 51 cm Depth: 5 cm Height: 51 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. However, during the reign of Louis-Philippe, a bourgeois style developed, less concerned with originality and more with comfort. The Louis-Philippe mirrors were intended to be more sober and streamlined. Unlike mirrors from previous eras, the wood is no longer carved but molded and covered with a glue primer. The top of the mirror frame is rounded, shaped like a gendarme's hat. For decoration, beads or acanthus leaves at the bottom accentuate the cornice with a gold leaf effect that brightens the whole. Large mirrors placed above fireplaces bring clarity and perspective to living spaces.
