This rectangular mirror in dark gilded wood adds a rustic and vintage touch to a well-kept interior. Its understated frame accentuates the glass with subtlety, while its golden finish naturally warms a light wall in an entryway or bedroom. Second-hand, it can be easily hung and complements both a console and a chest of drawers with a delicate presence. In everyday life, it reflects light near a dried bouquet, a ceramic lamp, or a few bottles placed beneath it. As a second-hand item, it bears the marks of its history: a few signs of age. Length: 52 cm Width: 4 cm Height: 62 cm A brief history of the Louis Philippe mirror At that time, the mirrors of great monarchs were recognizable by their cornices heavily decorated. 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, wood is no longer sculpted but molded and coated with a glue primer. The top of the mirror frame is rounded, shaped like a gendarme's hat. For decoration, pearls or acanthus leaves at the bottom highlight the cornice with a gold leaf effect that illuminates the whole. Large mirrors placed over fireplaces bring clarity and perspective to living spaces.
