Gently, this mirror captivates with its golden frame and curved shapes, embodying a refined country spirit. This second-hand piece captures light and adorns the wall with a measured decorative touch, without disrupting the balance of a sober interior. Its elaborately crafted frame allows it to hang above a console in an entryway, where it willingly complements a weathered wood. In this scene, a stoneware vase placed on the console completes the ensemble. Width: 30 cm Depth: 5 cm Height: 47 cm A Brief History of the Louis Philippe Mirror At the time, the mirrors of great monarchs were recognizable by their cornices adorned with decorations. However, during the reign of Louis-Philippe, a bourgeois style emerged, less concerned with originality than with comfort. The Louis-Philippe mirrors were designed to be more sober and streamlined. Unlike mirrors from previous eras, the wood is no longer sculpted but rather molded and coated with a glue primer. The top of the mirror frame is rounded, resembling a gendarme hat. For decoration, pearls or acanthus leaves at the bottom emphasize the cornice with a gold leaf effect that brightens everything. The large mirrors installed over fireplaces bring clarity and perspective to living spaces.
