A brief history of the Louis Philippe mirror
Back then, the mirrors of great monarchs were recognizable by their heavily decorated cornices. But during the reign of Louis-Philippe, a bourgeois style developed, less concerned with originality than with comfort. Louis-Philippe mirrors were intended to be more sober and refined. Unlike mirrors from previous eras, the wood was no longer carved, but molded and coated with a glue-based primer. The top of the mirror frame is rounded, in the shape of a gendarme’s hat. For decoration, pearls or acanthus leaves at the bottom accentuate the cornice with a gold-leaf effect that illuminates the piece. Large mirrors installed over fireplaces bring brightness and perspective to living spaces.
