The Mirrour Which Flatters Not – Wooden Wall Decor (28.5 × 19.5 cm)

Bring the mysterious symbolism of 17th-century Memento Mori art into your home with this intricately engraved wooden wall décor inspired by The Mirrour Which Flatters Not, attributed to Jean Puget de la Serre, dating from 1639.

Unlike an ordinary mirror, the “mirror which flatters not” represents a reflection of reality without vanity or illusion. The imagery belongs to the long tradition of Memento Mori and Vanitas, reminding us that beauty, youth, status, and worldly possessions are all temporary.

The mirror becomes a powerful symbol of self-reflection. Instead of showing us only the appearance we wish to see, it confronts us with the passage of time and the inevitable changes that come with it.

Perfect for dark academia interiors, Gothic and historical décor, libraries, studies, offices, art collections, or spaces inspired by Renaissance and Baroque symbolism.

Ready to hang with a metal hanger mounted on the back.
