Asymmetrical Frames

A Rococo mirror. The mirror surface itself is irregularly shaped: the upper edge undulates, and the curves on both sides are different; the outer frame is made of white and gilded carved wood scrolls, particularly luxuriant at the top and extending diagonally to one side, while the other side is simpler. The bottom of the frame may have almost no decoration. The overall appearance resembles a plant growing towards the light. Avoid: using symmetrical, regular mirror frames, using square and perfectly round mirror surfaces, distributing decorations evenly around all sides, using heavy Baroque frames.

一面洛可可的鏡子。鏡面本身是不規則的形狀:上緣起伏、兩側的弧度不同;外框是白色與貼金的木雕捲飾,在上方特別繁茂並向一側傾斜地延伸,另一側則較簡單。框的下方可能幾乎沒有裝飾。整體看起來像一株向光生長的植物。避免:使用左右對稱的規則鏡框、使用方形與正圓的鏡面、把裝飾平均分佈在四周、使用厚重的巴洛克式框。
