Mural mirrors, reflections of our lives and our whims

Each one of us looks into the mirror at least once a day, without even questioning the origins of this object that can transform our apartment into a ball room. The silver glass mirror, as we know it today, that sends back our reflection, in order to ajdust a look, shave or put on some makeup, appeared in Germany only 200 years ago.

Mirror, mirror on the wall...

Indispensable, it was quite rare in the past. Its surface was comprised of polished copper and bronze, without reproducting faithfully a satisfying reflective image. This primitive technique was improved over the centuries and its size finally enlarged until its production became widespread and designers created works of art sold at sky rocketing prices.
