Rare Pair of Parisian Oval Mirrors – Louis-Philippe Period, 1830–1850
A refined pair of French oval mirrors from the first half of the 19th century, crafted in carved wood and gilded with gold leaf. The frames feature a continuous beaded border, while the upper crest, shaped with measured simplicity, is decorated with leaf motifs typical of the period.
A distinctive element is the presence of the original three-arm candle sconces, designed to spread the soft glow of candlelight and enhance its reflection, creating a warm and gentle atmosphere.
They retain their original gilding and period mirrors—details that speak of quality preserved through time. They recall the elegance of 19th-century Paris and evoke interiors marked by care, order, and a sense of decorum that today feels almost rare.
Their strength lies in their versatility: they add personality to both classic and contemporary spaces. In a modern room they introduce a touch of history; in an eclectic setting they connect the various elements; in a traditional interior they return naturally to their original language.
They are equally suited beyond the domestic sphere: in a high-end clothing boutique, where they bring light and identity; in an elegant beauty salon, where they help create a welcoming atmosphere; in prestigious waiting rooms, where they immediately elevate the tone of the environment.
Mirrors that do not dominate, but accompany. Objects with balance and grace, able to speak to the present without losing the resonance of their past.
