Grande Louis Philippe Period Mirror

About the Item

Mirror from the Louis Philippe period in France. This mirror features the original mercury mirror within the classic Louis Philippe molded frame with curved upper corners. The frame is made of solid wood that has been hand carved, chiseled and stuccoed. This mirror boasts chiseled detailing of a floral pattern and pearling. There is an undertone coating of sienna glaze covered with a patinated 24 carats gold leafing. It is in very nice antique condition – the photos accurately depict the condition. The Louis Philippe period refers to the time in France when Charles X was overthrown in 1830 and Louis Philippe, Duke of Orleans, became France’s new leader. He managed both royalists to his right and radicals to the left, while sympathizing with the bourgeois class. Louis Philippe period furniture maintained the simple, rounded lines of the Restoration, but with less ornamentation. The function of furniture was of prime importance. Walnut and mahogany were the predominant woods. Tables and commodes often had marble tops. A characteristic trait of case pieces in the Louis Philippe style is the “doucine“ (soft curve). At the top of buffets, chests, armoires and secretaries a slight curvature is often seen, lending softness to the otherwise straight lines common of the period.
