54" tall, 35.5" wide, with the mirror panel within covering 33" tall by 27" wide.

Simple wood construction around a mirrored panel, with hand-painted surfaces.

Heavy carved gilt wood detailing around the mirror, along the upper border, and surrounding the painted scene in the upper center.

Color blend is very cool - a cool blue grey with brick/ruby red and gilt trims with black detailing.

Showing age and patina in the most appealing way - as you would want in a period piece like this. .

In keeping with Aesop's fable, Fox and Crow's Motto is "Beware of False Flattery!" So, with each listing we offer a true confession about the item...

A Trumeau French period mirror is an anchor of a traditional fine home. Entrance Hall, Top or Bottom of a stair, or in a luxury dressing room...the mix of reflection and fine detailing just makes the space more refined.

My husband grew up with a pea green and gilt one at his mother's house, and that mirror is now a centerpiece in our dining room over an always colorful Italian brass tea cart bar. Of all the pretty and fine things in that room, our guests always ask about the mirror. Fascinating!

This one is lively with a pairing of blue/gray and a hearty red, and lots of gilt wood relief detailing you would expect of a good Trumeau design.

The colors sealed the sealed the deal for us with this one...the grey and red are perfect accents with so many other colors and shoal make for the perfect pop of color in an interesting space.

And, at this price point, it is a tremendous amount on impact and quality for a very reasonable investment... See less
