Length: 71 cm Width: 56 cm Thickness: 3 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 were designed to be more understated and refined. 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, shaped like a gendarme's hat. For decoration, beads or acanthus leaves at the base highlight the cornice with a gilded effect that brightens everything. Large mirrors placed above fireplaces bring clarity and perspective to living spaces.
