Enhance your space with this small mirror featuring a grey resin frame, delicately adorned with floral patterns. Its size makes it an ideal accessory to elevate a corner of your living room or to add a touch of elegance to your bedroom. The textured finish subtly contrasts with the reflection, creating a soft and welcoming atmosphere. Some traces of time bear witness to its history and add to its unique character. Length: 30 cm Width: 1.5 cm Height: 48 cm A brief history of the Louis Philippe mirror In those days, the mirrors of grand 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. Louis-Philippe mirrors aimed to be more sober and streamlined. Unlike mirrors from previous eras, the wood was 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 brightens the entire piece. Large mirrors installed above fireplaces bring clarity and perspective to living spaces.
