Mirrors exist from the middle of XIII century, at this particular time them on handicraft technology began to do in Holland and Flanders. And in two hundred years the island Murano well-known now near Venice has become famous for the glass-blowing workshops.

Cost of the first mirrors and the big surfaces of glass was so great, that is comparable to cost of the average size of a manor or, for comparison, the mirror costed twice more expensively, than a picturesque cloth of the same size of the most known artists of that time.

Therefore t is no wonder, that persons royal krovey were collectors of mirrors: English Henry VIII and French Frantsisk I. The king could then to afford such expensive pleasure only. And Louis XIV absolutely to strike visitors luxury of the palace in Versailles has constructed long mirror gallery on which walls it has been hanged out more than three hundred big sizes of mirrors. The palace has amazed everything which have visited it, the magnificence, and its holder has received a nickname "king-sun".

It is not known to whom in a head has come idea to use in furniture incrustation slices of mirrors, but that this invention has changed and to unrecognizability has changed shape of habitual subjects, undoubtedly. Reflecting light, mirror inserts fill surrounding space light "splashes", and an interior - smart magnificence. At once there is an association with long suites of palace halls, luxury and shine of their furniture. Here, for example, a screen executed quite in "palace style". Its mirror cloths are covered by a grid in the form of rhombuses in the spirit of medieval window lattices, and frames are decorated by cast "crowns" from bronze and the silvered relief overlays. Such screen will look organic in the interiors reminding conditions of an ancient entail property, somewhere near Paris.

But elements of palace interiors are quite successfully combined and with modern elements of furniture. Such a little unusual mixture of styles and epoch gives to conditions originality. Look, as in the form of the columns, finished by mirror plates and bronze fixtures are successfully combined with modern almost minimalist armchair and a magnificent woollen carpet. Thus the dark and muffled tone of walls does not do conditions gloomy, on the contrary, adds in an aristocratism interior. As though in a patrimonial estate the young successor has lodged and has brought with itself furniture from the small urban apartment.

And here the bed finished by mirror plates though has a magnificent appearance, but obviously concerns our time. Its furnish is laconic enough and does not sin with an overwork heap of decorative details. Something is in it imperceptibly noble, reminding marble furniture of country houses of the Roman patricians. At the same time the verified proportions, classical severity of a decor and the modern technologies used in furnish, issue in it our contemporary. This bed is capable to make your bedroom the most smart place in the house and you, by an example of the French kings, can receive visitors, laying in bed.

In such bedroom the toilet little table and the console, on a following photo can be necessary, it is necessary very opportunely. It will not take a lot of place: at the expense of its semicircular form it is possible to move up closely to a wall.

And the low square little table almost entirely covered with smooth surfaces is, without delay, an interior ornament, than a functional piece of furniture. To deliver on it it is possible unless a thin porcelain cup from coffee or, as on a photo, a snow-white cluster of corals. But as an unusual subject in conditions, this little table quite will approach.

Interest to the person to mirrors is caused those only by their use in a daily life, long since the mirror was considered as a subject mysterious. Knowingly in fairy tales it is used as magical attribute. The child since the childhood from giving of storytellers tries to imagine certain “zazerkalnyiy” the world, in which all not how in the world real. Or the fairy tale takes away to a mirror a role of the foreteller and then its heroes try to learn from it the destiny ("my light, a pocket mirror tell …"). But it is all fairy tales of our childhood, and here every possible legends on ghosts and the phantoms born in perekrestyah of mirrors and disappearing in them, do not give rest of imagination of already adult person. And actually the smooth surface, reflecting real subjects, creates Mirages and nonexistent spaces. After all for all reception when a narrow room "expand" by means of the big mirror on a wall is known. But besides creation of doubles, the mirror is capable and, on the contrary, as though to "dissolve" subjects. The most usual locker if it is covered by mirror plates as though disappears, turns to a Mirage.

Mirror inserts and incrustations are used in a furniture ornament for a long time. And now antiquarian things, mirror inserts in which have tested on themselves destroying influence of time, look, as hereditary aristocrats. And cracks and attritions only confirm their authenticity and a life rich with events. Presently things "with the past" are appreciated, therefore subjects with time traces find the place and in modern apartments. So, the antiquarian little table once intended for a lamp or a candelabrum, can be used today as original kokteylnyiy. Established in the room centre, he will favourably underline both carpet drawing, and an upholstered furniture upholstery.

And the ancient lamp with treschinkami on mirror furnish will introduce in your conditions the nostalgia note on the past.

But mirror can be not only rather small subjects. And acknowledgement to that is a handsome man a case, to which as to the old count, your highness … "would be desirable to address". This case too concerns the category of exotic things, but if you love exotic it quite is necessary to you to liking as this case is capacious enough.

So, what only subjects the human imagination from mirrors has created, and hands of talented masters have realised. And if to you have liked any of them, it is possible to risk and deliver them in the house - the sensation of a holiday to you is guaranteed.
