Description

With its white wooden frame and Louis-Philippe style, this second-hand mirror adds a country touch to a bedroom, hallway, or above a chest of drawers. Its soft white color highlights the mirror surface and easily complements natural materials, from washed linen to rattan. Already imbued with patina, it offers a clear reflection while emphasizing the subtle relief of its wooden frame. In a sober decor, it can accompany a few antique frames, a ceramic vase, or a wooden console to create a refined ensemble. As a second-hand item, it bears the marks of its past: a few traces of time. Length: 64 cm Width: 6 cm Height: 91 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 understated and streamlined. Unlike mirrors from previous eras, the wood is no longer carved but molded and coated with a glue primer. The top of the mirror's frame is rounded, resembling a gendarme's hat. For decoration, beads or acanthus leaves at the lower part highlight the cornice with a gilded effect that illuminates everything. Large mirrors placed on mantels bring clarity and perspective to living spaces.
