Single or triptych, square or rectangular, this mirror with its refined shapes is now installed in every room of the house. This decorative element in its own right gives a unique look and atmosphere to an interior. If nowadays, the barber is only frequented by hipsters with full beards and men who appreciate a close shave, originally, it had various functions. Indeed, a few centuries ago, he was also a hairdresser and performed minor surgeries such as bloodletting. Among his extensive equipment, the barber had mirrors. This accessory was a true sign of luxury at the time, and was rarely found in homes except the most affluent. —- Fast and careful shipping via Colissimo or Mondial Relay.
