{"product_id":"vintage-convex-butlers-mirror-with-94766","title":"Vintage Convex Butler’s Mirror with Ribbon Bow Crest and Rope-Twist Gold-Tone Frame, Hanging Chain, 33 cm","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe convex mirror has a clever history. In grand European dining rooms, a butler could glance at one round, curved mirror and see the whole table at once, knowing exactly when a guest needed their glass refilled. That is why it is called a butler’s mirror. Because the curved glass gathers a whole room into a small circle, it was also thought to bring light and good luck, and the French call it a miroir de sorcière, a witch’s mirror.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis vintage convex mirror is a charming example. The round curved glass sits in a slim gold-tone frame with a rope-twist border. At the top, a small ribbon bow forms the crest, a classic decorative motif borrowed from the Louis XVI style. The mirror hangs from a fine chain, so it can be hung from a single hook. The curved glass reflects a wide view of the room in miniature, adding depth and light to any wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mirror is in good condition. It looks lovely in a hallway, above a console or in a dining room, where it can reflect light and gather the room into its curve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, this is a vintage convex butler’s mirror with a gold-tone rope-twist frame, a ribbon bow crest and a hanging chain.
