Mirrors are versatile, flattering and unobtrusively elegant in any space. Pier mirrors, or console mirrors, are similar to trumeau mirrors as they are traditionally installed between windows. These mirrors are usually very tall and placed on piers that support the ceiling. Sometimes they are suspended from the pier or affixed to the wall.
Pier mirrors were extremely popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, and they were typically used to decorate receiving rooms. They often had extravagant, golden frames that matched the fashionable Rococo and neoclassical styles. Console tables would generally be placed beneath pier mirrors, thus pier mirrors are sometimes referred to as console mirrors.
