Mirror Circa 1790

Celadon green paint meets gilded acanthus leaf relief across the upper panel of this late 18th-century French trumeau mirror, its neoclassical ornament as precise today as when it left a Parisian atelier circa 1790. The trumeau form — a distinctly French tradition of pairing a decorative painted panel above a mirror glass — was a hallmark of Louis XVI and Directoire interiors, gracing the overmantels of aristocratic townhouses and country châteaux alike. Hand-carved and gilt detail runs along every border, from the beaded molding to the continuous laurel garland framing the mirror plate, evidence of the artisan's hand at every turn. As a genuine European antique with over two centuries of provenance, this one-of-a-kind piece brings extraordinary depth and historical weight to an entry hall, salon, or formal living room.
