With its rattan rays and rimmed glass, this sun mirror made of rattan strikes a delicate countryside note, perfect for an entryway or above a console table. The duo of light and dark wood gives it a nuanced appearance, while the glass adds a touch of clarity to the whole. Found in vintage markets, it easily hangs on the wall and complements both a natural decor and a more sober interior, engaging with patinated furniture, linen, or ceramics. In a bedroom, it captures light near a dresser, above a stoneware vase and a dried bouquet. Diameter: 54 cm A Brief History of the Louis Philippe Mirror At that time, the mirrors of great monarchs were recognizable by their cornices laden with decorations. But 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 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, shaped like a gendarme's hat. For decoration, beads or acanthus leaves at the bottom highlight the cornice with a gilded effect that illuminates the whole piece. Large mirrors placed on fireplaces bring clarity and perspective to living spaces.
