The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A trumeau mirror originated in 18th-century France as an architectural wall element, designed to fit between windows or above a fireplace. It characteristically features a glass mirror pane beneath an upper painted canvas or carved relief panel within a single gilded frame.

Traditional trumeau mirrors feature hand-carved wood frames coated in gesso and finished with gold leaf gilding. The upper section typically incorporates an oil-painted canvas or panel, while the lower section houses silvered or mercury glass.

Authentic examples demonstrate hand-hewn backboards, natural wearing to the gold leaf gilding revealing underlying gesso or bole, and age-appropriate craquelure on the painted panel. The mirror glass frequently exhibits subtle spotting or oxidisation along the edges.

A trumeau mirror can be positioned directly above a fireplace mantelpiece or mounted over a hallway console table to establish symmetry. Its tall vertical proportion draws the eye upward to accentuate ceiling height.

Maintain giltwood frames using a dry, soft microfibre cloth or soft duster to avoid disturbing fragile gold leaf. Avoid applying liquid chemical cleaners directly to the frame or upper artwork, applying glass cleaner strictly to a cloth before wiping the lower pane.
