"Marriage mirrors," or "marriage looking-glasses," are so-called because of their frequent use in French interiors during the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly in the style associated with Louis XVI.
These mirrors often featured motifs like doves or entwined hearts, symbolizing love and marriage, making them popular wedding gifts or decorative elements in a couple's home
