A brief history of the Louis Philippe mirror
In the past, mirrors of great monarchs were recognizable by their heavily decorated cornices. But during the reign of Louis-Philippe, a bourgeois style developed, concerned less with originality than with comfort. Louis-Philippe mirrors were therefore 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 primer. The top of the mirror frame is rounded in a "gendarme’s hat" shape. For decoration, beads or acanthus leaves at the base highlight the cornice with a gold-leaf effect that illuminates the entire piece. Large mirrors installed over fireplaces add clarity and perspective to living spaces.
