A major aspect of the decoration of royal and princely palaces, mirrors spread throughout Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries. Decorating private rooms as well as reception rooms, they never ceased to fascinate their contemporaries with their marvellous and illusionist effects.

From the first disappeared mirror cabinets to the famous Hall of Mirrors in Versailles, via the sumptuous decorations of European palaces, this richly illustrated book is the first to be devoted to this major subject, at the frontier between the decorative arts and architecture. It deals with the history of decoration, techniques and know-how as well as artistic exchanges between different countries.
