Description from the seller
Grand trompe-l'œil? Wait no, Grand mirror of a trumeau in carved and gilded wood – Louis XVI style, 19th century
Very elegant trumeau mirror in carved and gilded wood, executed in the Louis XVI taste and dating plausibly to the 19th century.
This model is distinguished by its rich neoclassical decor consisting of a traceried pediment adorned with laurel leaves, rosettes, crossed ribbons and a central sculpted medallion. The uprights are decorated with stylized leaves and the framing is outlined by a finely executed beaded frieze.
Traditional solid wood construction, visible on the back with its old boards joined, testifies to artisanal quality.
The antique gilding presents a beautiful patina and natural wear that reinforce the authentic character of this piece. The glass looks old and shows traces of time compatible with its age.
Dimensions
* Height: 100 cm
* Width: 43 cm
Condition
Good condition for a 19th-century object. Some gilding wear, light signs of use and minor defects related to age. The mirror remains very decorative and immediately presentable. The photographs are an integral part of the description.

Keywords
Old mirror, trumeau, Louis XVI, neoclassical, carved wood, gilding, 19th century, fireplace, decoration, gilded mirror.
Looking carefully at the back and the quality of the sculpture, I think this mirror is more interesting than a simple reproduction of the 20th century. It shows several clues of manufacture from the mid- or late 19th century: old reverse assembly, fairly fine sculpture, elegant proportions and wear coherent with gilding.
The glass is indeed original (or at least 19th century),
On the other hand, I noticed a detail that deserves verification: the motif sculpted in the central medallion is not a very common Louis XVI decoration. A clear photo of this medallion could allow determining whether it is a particular emblem (monogram, heraldic symbol or decorative motif), which could make the mirror even more interesting. the motif sculpted in the central medallion is not a very common Louis XVI decoration.
