This dark wood mirror, in a country style, adds a warm and understated touch to an interior. Its wooden frame naturally interacts with the glass and emphasizes a discreet presence, ideal for an entryway, a bedroom, or above a console. Sourced from a vintage market, it retains the charm of second-hand pieces that we love to integrate for their material and character, without weighing down the whole. Hung in soft light, it complements a patinated wooden piece of furniture, a ceramic lamp, or a few dried flower bouquets placed on a buffet. Length: 85 cm Width: 62 cm Depth: 4 cm A brief history of the Louis Philippe mirror At the time, the mirrors of great monarchs were recognizable by their cornices adorned 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 sober and streamlined. Unlike the mirrors of previous eras, the wood is no longer sculpted but 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 lower part emphasize the cornice with a gilded effect that illuminates the whole piece. Large mirrors placed over fireplaces bring clarity and perspective to living spaces.
