This beige rattan mirror, a vintage find, charms with its flower-shaped design and delicate roundness, which immediately softens the wall. The weaving of the rattan adds a natural and warm texture, ideal for a countryside ambiance, complemented by patinated wood and antique linens. Placed in an entryway, it captures light above a raw wood console, accompanied by a ceramic catch-all and a small lamp. In a bedroom, it beautifully complements a wooden dresser and a bouquet of dried flowers placed nearby. Height: 52 cm Diameter: 52 cm A Brief History of the Louis-Philippe Mirror At the time, the mirrors of grand monarchs were recognizable by their cornices adorned with decorations. However, during the reign of Louis-Philippe, a bourgeois style developed, focusing less on originality and more on comfort. Louis-Philippe mirrors aimed for a more sober and refined look. Unlike mirrors from previous eras, the wood is no longer carved 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 highlight the cornice with a golden effect from gold leaf that brightens the entire piece. Large mirrors placed above fireplaces bring clarity and perspective to living spaces.
