French 19th Century Petite Neoclassical Trumeau
$1,850.0026.38"H x 18.38"W x 2.25"D
Dimensions: 26 ⅜” H x 18 ⅜” W x 2 ¼” D
Fabulous Neoclassical inspired trumeau mirror from 19th century France with stylized motifs in parcel gilt. In the center of the frieze are two gilded, cherub-like figures wearing only swags of carefully draped fabric flanking a pedestal that lifts what appears to be an accumulation of flowers. Note that the character to the right side has lost its face and the void is filled with paint in an attempt to obscure that fact. The pair are flanked by lyres and vertically oriented laurel branches emanating from the top of the fluted columns to the left and right of the original mirror glass like a tabernacle-style mirror. The wood backing has been painted a dusky shade of blue–almost Prussian–that makes a nice complement to the gilt and the dark haze of foxing across the reflection. A line of foliate decoration extends across the bottom edge of the frame in between the two protective feet. Please view the detailed images to see more of this exciting trumeau mirror.

Dimensions: 25 ¼” H x 22 ⅛” W x 2 ¾” D
A stunning French 19th century gold gilt mirror with impressive carving techniques to illustrate the frame in foliate motifs.

Shown in vertical orientation, the frame could be mounted in either direction. One small, dark spot of foxing in the glass but no other evidence to confirm that it’s original to the piece.
