Length: 81 cm Width: 3 cm Height: 125 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 and more focused on comfort. The Louis-Philippe mirrors aimed to be more understated and streamlined. Unlike mirrors from previous eras, the wood is no longer carved, but molded and covered with a glue-based primer. The top of the mirror's frame is rounded, resembling a gendarme's hat. For decoration, beads or acanthus leaves at the bottom accentuate the cornice with a golden leaf effect that brightens the whole piece. The large mirrors placed over fireplaces bring clarity and perspective to living spaces.
