In recent years, barber's mirrors have been a great source of interest in the world of vintage decoration. Simple or triptych, square or rectangular, this sleekly shaped mirror now fits in every room of the house. This full-fledged decorative element provides a unique look and feel for an interior. While today the barber is only frequented by bearded hipsters and men enjoying a close shave, he originally had various functions. Indeed, a few centuries ago, he was also a hairdresser and performed small surgeries such as bleeding. In the midst of his particularly extensive paraphernalia, the barber had mirrors. At the time, this accessory was a sign of luxury, and was rarely found in homes except the wealthiest.
