With its white frame adorned with a floral painted motif, this oval wooden mirror adds a delicate countryside touch to the home. Sourced from a vintage find, this piece combines a light finish with the glass surface, offering a gentle presence in an entryway or bedroom. Its shallow depth allows for easy wall mounting without weighing down the space, while reflecting light elegantly. It pairs perfectly with a weathered wood console, a ceramic vase, or a few antique frames to create a refined decor. In a hallway, it welcomes the gaze above an accent piece and complements a sober, bright, and well-kept atmosphere. Length: 80 cm Width: 60 cm Depth: 2 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 emerged, less concerned with originality than with comfort. The Louis-Philippe mirrors aimed for a more understated and simplified design. Unlike mirrors from previous eras, the wood is no longer sculpted but instead 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 highlight the cornice with a golden leaf effect that illuminates the entire piece. Large mirrors placed above fireplaces bring clarity and perspective to living spaces.
