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 eighteenth-century France as an architectural wall element designed to fit into the panelling between windows or above a fireplace. It characteristically combines a mirror plate in the lower section with a painted or carved decorative panel set into the same upper frame.

Traditional construction relies on a hand-carved pine or lime wood substrate coated in gesso plaster. Water gilding or oil gilding using thin gold leaf is applied over the gesso, while the upper inset panel typically features oil painting on canvas, wood, or plaster.

Authentic period examples display signs of hand-carving, natural wear or oxidisation to the gilt finish, and mercury or early silvered glass mirror plates. The backboards generally show hand-sawn wood with dark patina and original forge-cut nails or iron fixings.

Positioning a trumeau mirror above a mantelpiece or modern sideboard creates an architectural focal point in contemporary spaces. The vertical orientation helps draw the eye upwards to emphasise ceiling height while reflecting natural light across the room.

Remove dust using a soft dry brush or feather duster, avoiding liquids, damp cloths, or chemical solvents which strip water-gilded finishes. Clean the mirror glass carefully with a slightly dampened microfiber cloth, ensuring moisture does not touch the gilding or painted areas.
