The Mirror of the Sun – Baroque Sun King Plate
Apollo in gold on black, ringed by diamond mirrors and stars, the Hall of Mirrors in miniature.
Seventeen mirrors and one sun made the Hall of Mirrors the most photographed room of the seventeenth century, and this plate compresses the entire effect into ten perfect inches. Apollo turns his gilded profile against black, throwing rays like arguments no one can win, while diamond mirrors and stars catch the light and pass it along, courtier by courtier.
Black and gold is the baroque hour: candlelight, after-dinner, the good jewelry. This plate wants a dark wall, a mirror, and a room that knows how dramatic it is. It pairs beautifully with black lacquer, crystal, and anyone whose dinner parties begin at nine.
Generous 10-inch fine ceramic with a high-gloss glaze. For rooms that keep their own lighting budget and their own legend.
Part of the The Sun King Collection of baroque decorative plates.
