Description

This dark wood mirror adds a vintage and rustic touch to an interior, with a subtle presence that draws the eye without overwhelming the decor. Its wooden frame naturally complements a wooden console, an antique dresser, or a light wall, whether in an entryway or a bedroom. With its beautiful height, it allows for full-length reflection and easily accompanies daily life while softly reflecting light. Topped with a ceramic vase or placed above a low piece of furniture, it creates an elegant and timeless scene. A second-hand piece, it bears the marks of its history: a few traces of time. Length: 82 cmWidth: 12 cmHeight: 125 cm A brief history of the Louis Philippe mirrorAt 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 that was less concerned with originality and more with comfort. Louis-Philippe mirrors aimed to be more understated and simplified. 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 lower part highlight the cornice with a gold leaf effect that brightens the entire piece. The large mirrors placed above fireplaces bring clarity and perspective to living spaces.
