Antique 1911 Trumeau Style Mirror with Print of Emma Lady Hamilton after Sir Joshua Reynolds 31″ x 8-3/8″

$168.00

Fabulous antique trumeau-style mirror featuring a portrait print after a 1784 oil painting by Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723 – 1792) depicting Emma, Lady Hamilton (1765 – 1815), 18th-century beauty and infamous mistress of Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson, as a “Bacchanate” (female follower of Bacchus, god of wine).   Lovely soft colors.  The mirror, built on a wooden frame, has an ornate gilded gesso design featuring scrolls and florals. The back of the mirror is stamped with the glass company’s name (illegible) and the date 2 Feb 1911.  It measures 31″ x 8-3/8″ overall; mirror area is 19.5″ x 5,5″ and print area is 7.75″ x 5.5″.  Very good preowned antique condition with some water damage on the print (including a small hole, upper left corner) and several small areas of missing gesso–not noticeable due to the busy design; new dust cover–please see photos.  Ready to hang.  Great piece for European-inspired interiors with a connection to British history.  Perfect size for those hard-to-style narrow walls.

Product Information

A “trumeau” is a section of wall or a pillar between two openings, especially a pillar dividing a large doorway in a church.  Trumeau mirrors originated in France in the late 18th century and were originally set into frames on narrow walls, typically between two windows or two doors, generally to capture and reflect additional light into the room.  Also used above fireplace mantels, they were characterized by decorative carved or painted scenes in the top section.

    Wonderful experience, meticulous packaging!

    I purchased two items from this shop. They arrived surprisingly quickly, and it was evident that extreme care was taken to ensure they arrived safely. I greatly appreciate the attention and extra care when packaging up the items. How sad it would be to purchase an antique that has survived multiple generations, only to be destroyed by USPS! Thank you so much for a wonderful shopping experience!
