Finding the Right Sunburst-mirrors for You
Antique, new and vintage sunburst mirrors are popular decorative mirrors that hang in today’s modernist homes as often as they have been integrated in spaces that are comparatively traditional. Ornate and versatile, these sun-shaped fixtures are eye-catching and versatile.
Sunburst mirrors were a staple of Hollywood Regency homes from the 1920s to the 1950s. Hollywood Regency sunburst mirrors — which refers to mirrors designed in the dramatic style of interior design associated with the work of Billy Haines and Tony Duquette and pioneered by unsung decorator Dorothy Draper — became the perfect glitzy accessory. They combine a reflective surface with a spiky metallic frame that mimics sunrays. These mirrors are outwardly sculptural and prove audacious no matter what your chosen furniture style is. A sunburst mirror will be by no means an understated addition to your space.
Alternatively, you might find more diversity in Baroque pieces designed during the 1930s. These mirrors, although elaborate in their carved giltwood and natural-world motifs, offer a more tangible sense of balance and symmetry given how closely the size of the frame matches that of the mirror.
Given their reflective properties, natural light is your friend here. A sunburst mirror hung opposite a window will brighten up any space and make a statement in any bedroom or living room.
