Gilded mirror in Louis-Philippe style circa 1870

If Louis-Philippe style and period mirrors are the most sold mirrors in France, it is not only because of the large quantity produced to furnish the new districts built by Baron Haussmann, but especially because of their sensual and rounded curves that bring a warmer touch to all interiors. It humanises apartments with overly straight lines or overly minimalist decor and fits with practically all interiors. Its decoration, adorned with a garland of four-leaf clovers in moulded stucco and patinated gold leaf, makes it a lucky charm. In an entrance hall, above a fireplace, or in a bedroom, its antique glass, embellished with a few blemishes, is a certificate of authenticity in itself. With it, luck is on the agenda.
