An impressive French mirror (trumeau) in Baroque style from the late 19th century, made of gilded wood and stucco
Circa 1880–1900
Dimensions:
175 cm high; 90 cm wide.
Description:
An exceptionally imposing and decorative wall mirror (trumeau) in Baroque style from the late 19th century. The rectangular mirror plate is set in a richly detailed, deeply carved architectural frame. The construction consists of solid pine wood panels, joined by traditional wood joints; on the back, the original, hand-stamped shipping mark 'Glass' is still present.
The frame is lavishly decorated with stucco and high-relief *pastiglia* ornamentation, with a prominent, asymmetrical *rocaille* crest at the top and a matching shell motif at the bottom. The side edges are embellished with elegant acanthus leaf volutes and stylized floral tendrils.
The mirror is currently finished in a later, historically inspired chalk-white paint layer. Technical examination has shown that the original, late 19th-century water gilding has remained intact under this paint layer. This offers a rare and very attractive opportunity for a responsible restoration, allowing the object to be restored to its original splendor.
