Early 19th Century French Painted and Parcel Gilt Trumeau Mirror. Mirror features a gilt decorative narrative panel above the mirror plate showing a serene woman beside a young child and a lion, all set in an outdoor landscape. The frame is painted in a soft cream with floral carved giltwood moldings and has a wonderfully worn patina. The mirror glass below appears to be original or early period, showing light wear, adding to its authenticity and charm. In today's homes this mirror can be used in an entryway, above a mantel or dresser, or in a living area to open up the room visually. In essence, a trumeau mirror acts like a historical jewel in a modern setting--timeless and elegant with a story to tell.
