Elevate your interior with this Art Deco mirror featuring delicate gold-painted wooden moldings. Its brilliant reflection and refined details add a touch of elegance to any room, whether it’s a chic living room or a welcoming entryway. The harmonious combination of wood and glass invites contemplation while visually enlarging the space. Some signs of wear testify to its history and enhance its authentic charm. Width: 68 cm Depth: 2.5 cm Height: 117 cm Dimensions of the mirror alone: 49 x 74 cm A brief history of the Louis Philippe mirror At that time, the mirrors of great monarchs were recognizable by their cornices laden with decorations. However, during the reign of Louis-Philippe, a bourgeois style emerged, less concerned with originality and more focused on comfort. Louis-Philippe mirrors aimed to be more sober and streamlined. Unlike mirrors from previous eras, the wood is 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 gold leaf effect that illuminates the whole. Large mirrors installed above fireplaces bring clarity and perspective to living spaces.
