With its crown and golden resin, this oval country-style mirror adds a refined touch to the wall of an entryway or a bedroom. The golden resin mirror plays on a classic decor, while its bright finish softly captures the light. Its size is suitable for a console, a dresser, or a gallery wall, where it happily accompanies a ceramic vase, a few books, and a lamp. It is also imagined above an antique piece of furniture, among natural materials and light tones. A second-hand piece, it carries the memory of its past: a few signs of time. Length: 52 cm Width: 5 cm Height: 70 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 streamlined. Unlike the mirrors of previous eras, the wood was no longer sculpted, but molded and coated with a glue primer. The top of the mirror frame is rounded, resembling a gendarme's hat. For decoration, pearls or acanthus leaves at the bottom highlight the cornice with a golden leaf effect that illuminates the whole. Large mirrors placed above fireplaces bring clarity and perspective to living spaces.
