Where should I hang a pier mirror?

These mirrors suit narrow wall spaces between tall windows, where they reflect daylight and brighten the interior. They also sit effectively above console tables or fireplaces in reception rooms with high ceilings.

How do I identify a trumeau mirror?

A trumeau incorporates a wooden panel frame that often houses a decorative painted scene or carved artwork positioned directly above the glass. This architectural format originated in eighteenth-century France and continued through the nineteenth century.

What is parcel gilding?

Parcel gilding involves applying gold leaf selectively to specific carved details while leaving the rest of the wooden frame painted. This technique highlights classical motifs such as bead and reel carvings or acanthus leaves against a contrasting painted background.

Are these mirrors French or English?

The selection includes both origins, with numerous examples reflecting nineteenth-century French Empire and Louis XVI aesthetics alongside English Regency pieces. Regional differences appear in the carved motifs and the treatment of the painted wooden surfaces.
