FAQs

A trumeau mirror originated in 18th-century France, designed to fit into the wall space or trumeau between windows or above a fireplace mantle. They traditionally feature a mirror paired with a painted or carved wooden panel within a single architectural frame.

Authentic trumeau mirrors were constructed using solid timber frames coated with gesso, paint, and gold leaf gilding. The reflective panels feature mercury or silver-backed glass, often exhibiting natural foxing over extended periods.

Authentic period trumeau mirrors display hand-carved decorative motifs, layered gesso underneath distressed gilding, and original backing boards made of hand-sawn timber. Look for age-appropriate wear, visible lap joints, and natural oxidisation on the glass mirror.

Position a trumeau mirror above a fireplace mantelpiece, dining room sideboard, or console table to create an architectural focal point. The vertical proportions elongate wall space, while the weathered gilt finish introduces texture to neutral contemporary schemes.

Dust the gilded and painted timber frame gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or soft brush to prevent damage to delicate gold leaf and aged paint. Avoid liquid cleaners, solvents, or damp sponges on the frame, and clean glass carefully with a lightly moistened cloth.
