french wood paneling

A Trumeau-mirror is a made of wood (wood panel) with a mirror in the lower part and a wooden sculpture or painting in the upper part.
They are usually gilded with gold leaf and poly chrome.
The piers are usually found above a fireplace, but they are also often placed above a dresser.
The golden age of the trumeaux-mirrors is the XVII century.
It is very interesting to mix a trumeau-mirror in a modern or contemporary decoration.
