Mansion House Antiques & Fine Art has dated this French Gilt Trumeau Mirror to the 1850s.
Fleet of Galleons, very well painted with good detail.
A fine Oil on Canvas depicting a french fleet of galleons at sea.
The work is mounted as a gilt trumeau mirror. The whole has a wonderful look and would have originally been constructed to be mounted in a panelled interior.
Notice the original panelling which has been retained to re-enforce the back of the frame and behind the mirror section all as found.
The painting has a few patches verso, however you would never know as when seen from the front the surface looks fine and well restored restored
The lower mirror has been replaced in the past and the frame is all good with the usual wear to gilt.
Part of the original backing panel of wood is still in place behind the mirror,
but we are thinking about closing fully with a further piece of board to keep out any moisture.
Note there has been old woodworm in this back panel, but it’s all dead and long gone.
This item would look ok ideally placed above a Demi-lune side table with a nice carriage clock or a pair of Meissen figurines placed in front or the lower mirror to reflect.
