The frame follows the Louis XV manner: beaded inner mouldings, acanthus and rocaille scrollwork on the stiles, and scrolled feet at the base. The finish is warm antiqued gilt, rubbed back on the high points to show a russet ground beneath, much like traditional water gilding over red bole. Tall plate of bevelled mirror glass is clear and bright, so these work as genuine full-length dressing mirrors as well as statement pieces.
Made in the spirit of the 18th-century French trumeau. The scale and the facing-cameo design make these a dramatic and versatile pair if you choose to purchase both. The piece is equally at home in a French Provincial interior, a Hollywood Regency dressing room, a boutique fit-out, or a modern space that needs a touch of mischief.
