Crafted in the neoclassical Louis XVI tradition, the mirror features an upper oil painting panel and a lower mirror plate framed by gilt and paint-decorated moldings. The painted panel depicts a classical courtship or pastoral scene, softened by the natural patina of age, lending the piece both character and authenticity. The lower rectangular mirror is framed with delicate carved gilt accents, reflecting light elegantly and enhancing the sense of grandeur.

Flanking the central panels are decorative carved motifs—urns, torches, and foliate garlands—symbols of enlightenment and refinement often associated with the Louis XVI period. The original aged paint and gilt finish provide a warm, timeworn appeal, making this Trumeau a true collector’s piece.

Ideal for placement above a mantel, console, or entryway, this 18th-century Trumeau mirror harmonizes beautifully in antique interiors, Hollywood Regency décors, and even mid-century modern spaces seeking a touch of Old World sophistication. A rare statement piece, it embodies both the artistry and elegance of late 18th-century France. See less
