It appeared with the renowned and talented gilbert poillerat, a master ironworker who offered him a majestic and respectable version which would be copied and diverted many times later. The golden age of the sun mirror was between 1950 and 1960, when its popularity was at its peak and it was in almost every interior: we could see it on walls displaying majestic iron rays, but also in rattan or plaster. The sun mirror with its rounded shape is directly inspired by the famous witch's eye with its slightly domed and intriguing look. In the 1930s, it was very popular in bourgeois interiors. The curved nature of the glass made it possible to observe an entire room and brought light to the place. The mirror arms are supposed to be made of gold metal. There are also versions with wooden branches, wider and more elaborate. The back is a cardboard circle stamped chaty vallauris am. It is thanks to this that we distinguish the true from the false.
