Explore the World of Wall Mirrors through the Ages
Welcome to our exclusive collection of wall mirrors, where every reflection tells a story. Our mirrors, chosen for their beauty and rich history, span eras and styles, offering a fascinating glimpse of decorative art through the centuries.
From Origins to Antiquity
The history of wall mirrors begins in the ancient civilizations of Egypt and Mesopotamia, where they were mainly used by the elite. Our antique pieces reveal frames richly adorned with precious metals and stones, reflecting the status and wealth of their owners.
The Middle Ages and the Renaissance: Reflections of the Sacred and the Profane
In medieval times, the mirror became a symbol of vanity in Christian art, but also a centerpiece in the homes of the powerful. The Renaissance saw the development of mirror manufacturing techniques in Italy, particularly in Venice. Our mirrors from this period are framed in carved wood or inlaid with marquetry, testifying to the innovation and art of living of the period.
Baroque and Rococo: Reflected Exuberance
The Baroque and Rococo eras brought a new dimension to wall mirrors, with increasingly ornate frames. The mirrors of this period, often of large dimensions, were intended to impress, reflecting light and magnifying the opulent interiors of European palaces.
Classicism and Modernism: Purity of Line
As we enter the modern era, mirrors become simpler. The classical style advocates symmetry and clean lines, while the modernist and contemporary movements exploit geometric shapes and innovative materials such as stainless steel and frosted glass, reflecting current interior design trends.
The Contemporary Era: Innovation and Personalization
Today, wall mirrors are no longer merely functional; they have become decorative elements in their own right. Our contemporary collection includes bold creations by renowned designers as well as customized pieces that can transform any space.
