18th Century French Provincial Louis XVI Period Trumeau Mirror

About the Item

18th Century French Provincial Louis XVI Period Trumeau Mirror. Finely carved and molded decoration retaining the original gilding and warm reddish painted finish. Unusual form with the original central arched mirror plate with a smaller one flanking each side. Provence circa 1780. A stately and refined 18th-century French Provincial trumeau mirror from the Louis XVI period, crafted in Provence circa 1780. This architectural mirror boasts a gently arched central plate flanked by two narrower side mirrors, all retaining their original mercury glass with desirable age-appropriate spotting. The carved wooden frame features exceptional detailing, highlighted by its original parcel-gilt floral and foliate appliques, which contrast beautifully with the warm, hand-rubbed patina of the walnut-toned finish. A carved cornice crowns the composition, while beaded trim and gilded garlands lend classic Neoclassical elegance. A superb example of provincial French craftsmanship from the late 18th century, this mirror offers timeless character and proportion-perfect above a fireplace, console, or in an entry hall!

18th Century Louis XVI Three-Panel Arched Screens
Located in Middleburg, VA
18th Century Louis XVI Three-Panel Arched Screens with Painted Floral and Architectural Motifs. An exquisite and rare set of three panel screens from the Louis XVI period, crafted in the South of France circa 1790. Each arched panel is meticulously hand-painted with neoclassical decorative motifs emblematic of the Louis XVI aesthetic, featuring garlands, musical and artistic trophies, scrolling foliage, and urns filled with delicate florals. The panels are arranged in harmonious symmetry, unified by their softly aged ochre-toned ground and framed in carved and gilded wood. The lower sections are adorned with stylized classical shell forms and acanthus flourishes, while the upper registers display suspended emblems- such as a painter's palette, hunting horn, and straw hat- each rendered with graceful trompe l'oeil illusion and entwined with ribbons. Executed in tempera or distemper on canvas over wood, the screens retain a remarkable original surface and patina, exhibiting the poetic elegance of late 18th-century Provincial craftsmanship. These striking architectural accents are suitable for refined interiors. These screens may be used as freestanding partitions, mounted wall art...
