In recent years, barber mirrors have aroused great enthusiasm in the world of vintage decoration. Simple or triptych, square or rectangular, this mirror with sleek shapes is now installed in all rooms of the house. This element of decoration in its own right provides a unique look and atmosphere to an interior. If nowadays the barber is frequented only hipsters with a full beard and men enjoying a close shave, originally it had various functions. Indeed, a few centuries ago, he was also a hairdresser and performed small surgeries such as bloodletting. In the midst of his particularly extensive paraphernalia, the barber had mirrors. This accessory was at the time a true sign of luxury, and was rarely found in homes, except the most affluent.
