Golden mirror of the Louis-Philippe period - 81x62cm

Louis-philippe's small ice creams tell the story of this 19th century working-class france described in zola's novels, which rose early and lived in often precarious and difficult conditions. These often laquered glasses (they were then cheaper) adorned the rooms of the house staff located on the highest floors. Young women ("climbs" of the province most often) wore each other in the morning between an iron bed and a poele with only a small chest of drawers at best before completing a laborious day as a maid, laundress or "little hand" for a milliner. These ice creams are endearing because they tell these laborious lives, their modest size makes them easily houseable in all interiors. Adopt them, they will give it back to you a hundredfold!.
