Item Description

Early 19th C French Gilt Trumeau Mirror
Fantastic example of a French Trumeau Mirror with elegant proportions. The carved wooden frame is overlaid with gesso and gilt, finished in gold and cream tones.

The cartouche is detailed with the twin symbols of Louis XVI, a quiver of arrows crossed with a flambeau, joined by a laurel branch, oak leaves and bow tied ribbon. The flaming torch is an ancient symbol of life, truth and the regenerative power of fire while the quiver of arrows signifies the ability to use force in the pursuit of justice. Further ribbon swag detailing is found under the main cartouche above the mirror plate

The original glass mirror plate has some foxing in places. 160.5cm height, 66cm width, 5.5cm depth. mirror glass 83cm height, 46cm width

Some losses to the gilt and gesso in areas with age and historical wear as expected
