French 19th Century Painted Trumeau

Offered by: Fireside Antiques

Description
This French 19th century trumeau mirror combines the architectural with the artistic, fusing an oil on canvas work in the top panel above the rectangular mirror plate below. Set within a frame of painted sage-green that is trimmed in gold gilt molding in fishscale motif, the painting is in a mostly blue and green palette to reinforce the pastoral setting with touches of pink for romance. It depicts a rural landscape on the edge of a river or stream where a young couple are resting beneath a tree joined by a dog and baby lambs. He leans toward her with affection, but her pensive face is oriented toward something farther afield. The original mirror plate sparkles with foxing and crystallization. Please view the detailed images for a closer look.
