Clyde Trumeau Gold Wall Mirror

Trumeau mirrors came out of French overmantels, and this one keeps the form: a gold frame with a carved crest sitting above the glass, which is beveled. At 30 by 45 inches it wants a wall with a little height to it, over a fireplace or a console. The crest fixes the orientation, so this one hangs portrait. It is the most decorative mirror in the group and the one that will do the most work in a plain room, because the carving supplies the detail the walls do not.
