This second-hand mirror is appealing with its organic shape and gilded plaster frame, which give it an antique and delicately rustic look. The clear glass softly captures light, while the crafted material adds a decorative touch that is both understated and refined. Installed in an entrance or a bedroom, it elegantly dresses a wall and complements both a wooden console and a vintage dresser. One can imagine it above a ceramic vase or a lamp with a linen shade, in a warm and vintage composition. Length: 43 cm Width: 3 cm Height: 65 cm A brief history of the Louis Philippe mirror At that 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 that was more focused on comfort than originality. The Louis-Philippe mirrors aimed to be more sober and streamlined. Unlike mirrors from previous eras, the wood was no longer carved but instead molded and covered with a glue-based primer. The top of the mirror frame is rounded, resembling a gendarme's hat. For decoration, beads or acanthus leaves at the bottom highlight the cornice with a golden leaf effect that illuminates the whole piece. Large mirrors placed above fireplaces bring clarity and perspective to living spaces.
