Large French Gilt Sunburst mirror c.1920
This is the largest sunburst mirror that I have found. As they are very desirable they are getting harder to source. This piece would look fabulous above a fireplace or in an entrance way.
Sunburst mirrors date back to Louis XIV, known as the ‘sun king’. It is said that Louis used to stare into his sunburst mirror each morning to see his face in the centre of the sun’s rays.
