This gold-painted wooden mirror, with a patterned frame, adds a refined and bright country touch. Its rectangular shape allows it to be hung in an entryway, above a console, or to complement a bedroom wall with a measured decorative touch. The gold wood easily dialogues with linen, natural materials, or a few ceramic objects, while its intricate framing gives it a delicate presence. In a living space, it captures light and willingly accompanies a glass vase or a dried flower bouquet. A second-hand piece, it bears the marks of its history with a few signs of time. Length: 67 cm Width: 6 cm Height: 87 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 than with comfort. The Louis-Philippe mirrors aimed to be more sober and refined. Unlike the mirrors of 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, in the shape of a gendarme's hat. For decoration, beads or acanthus leaves at the bottom highlight the cornice with a golden leaf effect that illuminates the whole piece. Large mirrors placed above fireplaces bring clarity and perspective to living spaces.
