Second-hand item, this wooden mirror brings a sober and elegant country touch to both the entryway and the bedroom. Its wooden frame creates a warm border that enhances the glass while allowing an ancient and measured aesthetic to shine through. Hung alone above a console or paired with a few worn frames, it makes for a refined wall without excess. Its shape easily fits into a narrow space and offers a pleasant reflection for daily use, from the last glance before stepping out to illuminating a corner of the room. Like all vintage furniture, it carries the memory of its past, including some signs of wear. Length: 50 cm Width: 3 cm Height: 71 cm A brief history of the Louis Philippe mirror At the time, the mirrors of great monarchs were recognizable by their cornices laden with decorations. However, during the reign of Louis Philippe, a bourgeois style emerged, less concerned with originality and more focused on comfort. Louis Philippe mirrors became 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, resembling a gendarme's hat. For decoration, pearls or acanthus leaves at the bottom highlight the cornice with a gold leaf effect that brightens everything up. The large mirrors installed over fireplaces bring clarity and perspective to living spaces.
