Mirror-sun is a very popular functional and decorative element. It is common in modern interiors. It is in demand among designers, decorators, consumers.
It is possible to make a frame for such a mirror on a machine with numerical control (CNC). On our site there are many suitable models in stl format.
In this article we will tell you about what frames in the shape of the sun are, how they differ, how in general appeared this type of frame, for what styles are suitable. And we will also show examples of 3d models that you can buy on our website for self-made "solar" mirror on a CNC machine.
History of origin:
There is a version that mirror frames in the form of sunbeams (and similar ones) appeared back in the Middle Ages. One such frame is even depicted in a painting by the artist Jan Van Eyck, where he depicted the Arnolfini couple. In those days, however, the frame had more of a religious character, because its "rays" were decorated with medallions depicting the Passion of Christ. That to modern mirrors has no relation.
Later, during the Renaissance, frames became even more popular. King Louis the 14th, a great lover of lavish balls, considered himself a kind of sun that illuminates everything around him. Therefore, it became customary to use everything golden in the decor and decoration, as well as everything that symbolizes the sun.
Moreover, the personal coat of arms of Louis represented the head of Apollo with diverging from it sun rays, very similar to those that later began to decorate mirror frames. There is a version that the frame with "solar" rays appeared in this period. And that by looking into the mirror-sun the king identified himself with it.
