This rattan mirror, in a dark shade, brings a country and vintage touch to a bedroom or hallway wall. Its braided frame creates a subtle presence, while its natural material interacts beautifully with blonde wood, linen, or a more pronounced patina. Suspended above a console or placed in an entryway, it accompanies everyday gestures with discreet elegance. Adorned with a frosted glass vase or simply standing alone, it adds a warm decor. As a second-hand piece, it bears the marks of its history: a few signs of time. Length: 41 cm Width: 3 cm Height: 50 cm A brief history of the Louis Philippe mirror At that time, the mirrors of grand 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 mirrors of Louis-Philippe aimed to be more sober and streamlined. Unlike mirrors from earlier periods, the wood is no longer sculpted but molded and coated with a glue-based primer. The top of the mirror's frame is rounded, resembling a gendarme's hat. For decoration, pearls or acanthus leaves at the lower part highlight the cornice with a gold leaf effect that illuminates the entire piece. The large mirrors installed above fireplaces bring brightness and perspective to living spaces.
