We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

This nineteenth-century country house pier mirror combines functional glass with an upper landscape oil painting, housed together within a single vertical frame. The dual-section giltwood and gesso structure displays intricate foliate corner carvings, beaded internal moulding, and a warm gilded gold finish that shows visible surface craquelure, areas of wear, and minor nibbles across the gilded surface. The continental wall-hanging object measures 150 cm high, 49 cm wide, and 8 cm deep. The oil panel depicts a detailed rural scene with figures gathered near a tree and a distant church spire beneath a crackled sky, positioned directly above the lower rectangular reflective mirror glass. Designed for traditional domestic interiors, this unusual survivor suits placement above a mantelpiece or within a hallway where its combination of decorative fine art and reflective surface creates a striking focal point on a wall.

FAQs

A trumeau pier mirror is a tall vertical mirror historically placed between windows or above mantels, incorporating a painted or carved decorative section directly above the reflective glass panel.

Traditional 19th-century mirrors were constructed from carved timber frames coated in gesso and gold leaf gilding, featuring silvered mirror glass and hand-painted oil on canvas panels.

Authentic period examples demonstrate fine craquelure across the upper oil painting, subtle oxidisation or silvering loss on the mirror glass, and hand-cut wooden backing panels with age-related wear to the gilding.

Positioning a trumeau mirror above a fireplace mantelpiece or a dining room sideboard creates a clear architectural focal point while bouncing natural light to enhance visual depth.

Dust the gilded frame using a soft, dry microfibre brush without water or chemical cleaners, and consult a professional conservator for any necessary cleaning of the oil canvas.
