How Much is a Antique Trumeau Mirror?
Finding the Right Trumeau-mirrors for You
Whether complemented by a lovely painting or detailed carved patterns, antique and vintage trumeau mirrors are instant attention-grabbers that add depth and character to a room.
Trumeau mirrors, also known as pier glass, emerged in 18th-century France. The original trumeau mirrors were set in large, rectangular wood paneling, or boiserie, that frequently incorporated carvings or paintings. The trumeau mirror was especially popular with the upper middle class in the 1700s who had disposable income to decorate their homes like the wood-paneled estates of the elite.
As mirrors became more widely available to the general public, the trumeau gained prominence in fashionable home decor. While trumeau initially referred to a mirror set in a wall lodged between two doors or windows, it gradually shifted to describing a mirror positioned above a mantel.
Though trumeau mirrors come in a variety of styles, they generally fall into one of two categories: those that incorporate painted art and those that feature carved motifs. The decorative elements are typically above the mirror on the top half of the wooden panel.
Browse 1stDibs for trumeau mirrors that epitomize elegance and bring a classic 18th-century element into modern times.
- What is a trumeau mirror?1 Answer
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To tell if a mirror is antique, check the glass to see if it's wavy or has any imperfections. Modern glass tends to be perfect. While this can be a clue, it might just signify that the mirror is old, not antique. Another thing to check for is the reflective coating on the back of the glass to see if it has begun oxidizing and has any age scratches. Finally, check out the frame to see if it has the appearance of age. Shop a large collection of antique mirrors from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022An antique mirror is a mirror of considerable age that has historical significance or is in great demand due to its beauty or rarity. Oftentimes, you’ll hear an antique be defined as any item that is more than 100 years old, but this is not a specific measurement of an antique nor is it a requirement. Shop a collection of antique mirrors from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021You can tell if a mirror is antique through a number of indicators. For example, most antique mirrors are quite small in size, measuring no more than 2 feet. Additionally, antique mirrors will show signs of sports or discoloration. Many antique mirrors will have bubbling or waves in the glass.

Repairs and replacements can go toward devaluing any piece of antique or vintage furniture, and any modifications or repairs done to a centuries-old mirror should be handled by experts and executed with care. Because antique Venetian mirrors were handcrafted by Italian artisans and can in some cases be hundreds of years old, it is strongly recommended that you consult with experts in the field of restoring antique or decorative mirrors in the event that your piece should require restorative work.
