Rustic Louis XVI trumeau mirror 40½" x 23¼"

This exquisite Louis XVI-style trumeau mirror dates from the nineteenth century. It is unusual that the painting has been painted directly onto the timber rather than on a canvas. It is a water-based paint, so mustn't be cleaned or scrubbed. The scene shows a mother and child picking pink flowers from a tree. 

Note: Mirrors have been photographed facing fabric, a technique that reveals any age spots in the glass. In some cases, this may create the appearance of an empty frame, but each mirror is complete except where explicitly stated.
