In architecture, a "trumeau" is the central pillar supporting a large doorway, which, in medieval buildings, was often sculpted. In 17th and 18th century France, wood framed mirrors with large painted or heavily-carved sections, were set into paneling between windows and doors and above mantles, and the name “trumeau mirror” stuck. In subsequent generations, trumeau mirrors gained popularity with the rising moneyed class looking to emulate the wall-paneled aristocracy of yore or to preserve some vestige of the past.
This is without any doubt a truly Gorgeous, one of a kind piece of Art that will make a statement in your home.
