Length: 51 cm Width: 3 cm Height: 70 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 than with comfort. The Louis Philippe mirrors aimed to be more sober and streamlined. Unlike the mirrors from previous eras, the wood is no longer carved, but molded and covered with a glue primer. The top of the mirror frame is rounded, resembling a gendarm's hat. For decoration, beads or acanthus leaves at the bottom highlight the cornice with a gold leaf effect that illuminates the whole piece. Large mirrors installed on fireplaces bring clarity and perspective to living spaces. Condition: Used item with some superficial wear marks, fully operational and working properly.
