Trumeau mirrors were originally manufactured in France in the 18th century. A decorative art form of uncommon quality, French furniture crafted during the eighteenth century (Louis XIII – Louis XVI) has long been praised as the epitome of elegance and fine craftsmanship. A centerpiece of the eighteenth century interior was the trumeau – a long mirror set into paneling and topped with a painting or carved motif. This form was primarily decorative but it was also functional because of the mirror’s reflective quality. Trumeau mirrors are wall mirrors set in a decorative frame that often features a painted or carved panel under or above the mirror, were originally intended to hang on a wall between windows, providing a decorative element and bringing more light to the room. Most antique trumeau mirrors are highly ornate and often gilded.It takes its name from the French word trumeau. In architecture, a trumeau resided between two doorways as a structural support. Trumeau mirrors are something quite different.Their larger size can easily support the design of a room just fine on its own as well as over a piece of furniture. The mirror is almost always rectangular and sometimes includes a decorative portion at the top, with the mirror below it. Those designed to be placed above a mantelpiece, rather than between windows, could have candles placed in front of the mirror to increase ambient light.
