Width: 80 cm Depth: 3.5 cm Height: 133 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 more bourgeois style emerged, less concerned with originality and more focused on comfort. Louis-Philippe mirrors aimed to be more subdued and minimalist. Unlike mirrors from previous eras, the wood is no longer carved but molded and coated with a glue primer. The top of the mirror frame is rounded, resembling a gendarme's hat. For decoration, beads or acanthus leaves at the bottom accentuate the cornice with a gilded effect that brightens the entire piece. Large mirrors installed over fireplaces bring clarity and perspective to living spaces.
