About the Item

This exquisite late 19th-century trumeau mirror is a stunning example of classical French craftsmanship, combining functionality and artistry. The elegant rectangular frame is adorned with a refined gilded wood finish, featuring subtle decorative accents on the corners that enhance its timeless appeal. What truly sets this piece apart is the beautifully hand-painted maritime scene adorning the upper panel. The painting depicts a vibrant seascape with sailing ships navigating through dynamic waters under a richly textured sky. The level of detail in the ships, the movement of the waves, and the interplay of light and shadow create a captivating visual experience, making this trumeau mirror not just a decorative object but also a work of art. The brushstrokes and crackled texture of the canvas suggest an original period painting, further enhancing its authenticity and charm. The lower section of the piece features a large, clear mirror, which remains in excellent condition, offering both a practical and aesthetic function. The contrast between the painting and the mirror creates a harmonious balance, making this piece ideal for classic, antique, or even eclectic interiors. Perfect for a Parisian-style salon, an elegant entryway, or a refined bedroom, this antique trumeau mirror embodies the sophistication of 19th-century European decorative arts. Whether placed above a fireplace or used as a statement piece, it will bring warmth, history, and character to any space. This is a rare and collectible find, ideal for antique enthusiasts and interior designers seeking an authentic period piece with historical charm and artistic value.

Antique Italian Giltwood Trumeau Mirror with Harbor Scene Oil Painting, C. 1780
Located in Dallas, TX
This Italian trumeau mirror, hand-carved circa 1780, features a 20 ½” H x 38” W mirror set beneath a maritime oil painting. The giltwood frame has angular protrusions in the upper corner, each filled with a small, raised floret. An egg-and-dart border graces the edges of the frame, interrupted by stepped-out plinths at the bottom corners. Both the mirror pane and the painting are surrounded by bead and reel motifs. The wonderfully executed painting depicts a bustling harbor filled with vessels from three different countries. A majority of the crafts feature English flags, while there is one from the Netherlands, with the third representation being a flag from the nation of Catalonia, which would later become an autonomous state in Spain. The blue sky, filled with white fluffy clouds, provides good weather for the numerous boats and ships navigating the choppy waters. Very mountainous terrain can be seen in the background, with a white lighthouse and a blue roof on the shore. In front of the highlands is tall Romanesque architecture comprised of several niches, transoms, and bricked columns topped with flowing greenery. Several men are gathered on the shore, carrying cargo to be loaded into boats approaching the harbor. Our Italian trumeau mirror with harbor scene oil painting...
