About the Item
One fine example of the Mirrors of the time of Louis XVI
Louis XVI style refers to a design and artistic movement that emerged in France during the late 18th century, specifically during the reign of King Louis XVI (1774–1792). This period is characterized by a departure from the elaborate and ornate Baroque style that preceded it. Louis XVI style is more restrained, with a focus on symmetry, straight lines, and classical motifs inspired by ancient Greek and Roman design.
A Louis XVI mirror, reflecting this style, would typically have the following characteristics:
Rectangular Shape: Louis XVI mirrors often have a rectangular shape, emphasizing symmetry and clean lines.
Gilded Frame: Gilding, or the application of gold leaf or gold paint, is a common feature in Louis XVI design. The frames of mirrors from this period are often intricately carved and gilded.
Classical Motifs: Neoclassical elements, such as fluted columns, rosettes, laurel wreaths, and urns, are common decorative motifs found on Louis XVI mirrors. These motifs are inspired by ancient Greek and Roman architecture and art.
Subdued Colors: The color palette of Louis XVI style tends to be more subdued compared to the bold colors of the preceding Baroque period. Soft pastels and muted tones are typical.
Symmetry and Balance: Louis XVI design places a strong emphasis on symmetry and balance. This is reflected in the mirror's overall design, with a balanced arrangement of decorative elements.
Influence on Interior Design: Louis XVI mirrors were often integrated into the overall interior design, complementing other neoclassical furniture pieces and contributing to the overall harmonious and elegant aesthetic of the space.
When looking for a Louis XVI-style mirror, you can find both antique pieces from the 18th century or reproductions that capture the essence of the style. These mirrors are not only functional but also serve as decorative elements that add a touch of timeless elegance to a room.

Circular Mirror "Sun" in Golden Metal, Spain Century XX, C. 1980
Located in Lisboa, PT
During the 20th century, decorative mirrors experienced various stylistic trends, and the "Sun" mirror design emerged as a popular choice. The frame is typically made of metal, often gold or brass, which gives it a luxurious and eye-catching appeal.
The "Sun" mirror design draws inspiration from celestial motifs, with rays extending outward from the central mirror to mimic the rays of the sun. This design element symbolizes light, energy, and warmth, adding a touch of brightness and elegance to any space.
The use of golden metal in the frame reflects a preference for opulence and a desire to incorporate rich materials into home decor during the 1980s. This mirrors the influence of the Art Deco and Hollywood Regency styles, which embraced glamorous and luxurious aesthetics.
