Convex mirror “The Merchant’s Eye”—a convex mirror surrounded by a narrow frame with an antique black finish and antique silver details.
Convex mirrors have been considered “magic mirrors” since their first appearance in the Renaissance, due to their “supernatural” ability to reflect a complete image of the room in which they are placed. Also known as “witch’s eyes” (from the French Oeil de sorcière) and “bankers’ mirrors,” they have enjoyed great popularity throughout art history, from Jan Van Eyck’s famous “Arnolfini Portrait” to Parmigianino and Caravaggio, all the way to Man Ray.
