An elegant antique French trumeau mirror in the Louis XVI style

With a pale grey painted frame enriched with gilded ornament. The architectural surround features a projecting cornice above a decorative frieze of scrolling foliage and circular rosettes. Ribbon-tied floral pendants adorn the side panels, while a finely patterned gilt border frames the large rectangular mirror plate.

The softly aged paintwork and worn gilding give the piece a warm antique character. Its balanced proportions and classical detailing make it a striking choice for a fireplace over-mantel, entrance hall, drawing room or even bedroom.

Circa 1860
