About the Item
Available for purchase is a rare pair of antique architectural zinc windows, known as "oeil de boeuf" or "bull's eye." Derived from historical architectural terminology, this French phrase translates to "cow's eye," representing a distinctive window style.
These windows, characterized by their small round, oval, or octagonal shape, typically adorn the façades or pediments of buildings. During the 17th century and later, these windows were prevalent in (Amsterdam) canal houses, often set within sandstone frames. In Latin, an "oeil de boeuf" is referred to as an "oculus."
Crafted from zinc and elegantly painted in natural white bone color, these windows have been skillfully repurposed into mirrors by our team whilst leaving the authentic paint layer intact. The mirrors are clean, solid, and ready for use.
Capture the essence of architectural history with this exceptional pair of converted zinc windows, reimagined as stunning mirrors. Displaying intricate craftsmanship and historical allure, these mirrors will add a unique touch to any space.

19th Century French Louis Philippe Mirror in Antique White
Located in Casteren, NL
This beautiful antique French Louis Philippe mirror has an ornate crest on top and floral ornaments in both lower corners.
The gadrooned frame has a pearl beading surrounding the outer edge.
This mirror is made in the south of France circa 1850 and is an early Louis Philippe mirror.
The crest is not made in one mold, but it is composed out of multiple ornaments. Also, the mixture used to cast the molds has a big part of ground cattlebone. Later mirrors, when the demand for such mirror was increased significantly, had crests cast in one mold and the cattle bone was replaced for chalk.
This mirror frame has been cleaned from its original golden color. The off-white color is the color of the raw material. The frame has been colored with an off-white patina to smoothen the color.
The whole mirror frame now has a pastel white finish with nice patina. The glass has been renewed circa 20...
