Description :
This impressive sunburst mirror, also known in French as a miroir de sorcière or “witch’s mirror,” is a stunning decorative piece with timeless appeal. Crafted entirely from wood, its radiant design features a meticulously hand-carved frame finished in rich gold leaf, beautifully aged to reveal hints of the underlying red bole, adding warmth and authenticity.
At the center lies a convex mirror, a characteristic element of these iconic mirrors, originally designed to broaden light and visually expand interior spaces. The convex glass not only enhances the play of reflections but also serves as a captivating focal point, adding depth and a touch of intrigue to any décor.
This piece likely dates from the early 20th century, inspired by the earlier Louis XVI and Empire periods when sunburst motifs symbolized grandeur and enlightenment. Its impressive size makes it a statement piece, perfect for elevating the character of a living room, entryway, or above a mantel.
The reverse side shows the original wooden back, further attesting to its authenticity and craftsmanship. Whether placed in a modern, eclectic, or classical interior, this mirror brings a refined and luminous presence to any setting.
