FAQs

Originating in early 19th-century France during the reign of Napoleon, French Empire trumeau mirrors feature structured rectangular frames often divided into dual sections comprising a decorative painted or carved relief panel above a mirror plate.

These mirrors were crafted using solid timber frames coated with a gesso substrate, decorated using water gilding or oil gilding techniques alongside painted wooden background panels and mercury glass.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved classical motifs, mercury glass with slight desilveration, hand-cut joinery on the backboards, and authentic wear to the original gilding and painted surface layers.

Position the mirror above a stone mantelpiece or contemporary sideboard to create a focal point that contrasts classical relief artwork against clean architectural lines.

Dust the gilded and painted surfaces gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding water, chemical cleaners, or damp cloths that could dissolve the underlying gesso substrate.
