FRENCH PARCEL-GILT AND WHITE-PAINTED TRUMEAU MIRROR OF SUBSTANTIAL SIZE
In the Louis XV taste | ca. late 19th century
Item # 403SHI18X
A
very large trumeau mirror in the Louis XV taste, the relatively austere
form features a pearl painted ground against which the carved giltwood
absolutely pops. The gilding is largely original and wonderfully
oxidized, the tarnish and overall patina of the surface lending some
needed surface history to the interior. Circa last quarter of the 19th
century.
Measurements: 80" H x 44 3/4" W
Condition Report:
Heavily
worn and oxidized throughout; white painted surface probably refreshed
in the 20th century, still presenting with chips and discolorations;
overall aged aesthetic; gilding tarnished with chipping and rubbing
through the gilding to reveal the underlying red bole and white base;
carvings with chipping and losses; mirror with smokiness and silvering
losses; a fine presentation that is ready to place.

FREIGHT SHIPMENTS
We
offer economical and speedy freight service for most locations in the
lower 48 States via the major LTL freight carriers. Delivery is
generally 5-10 business days after packing is complete for the East
Coast and 15-20 business days after packing is complete for the West
Coast. Rush service is available so just contact us for a quote if there
is a project deadline.
The Process:
- The
item is professionally packaged by our in-house team, palletized and
shipped on a tractor trailer. Packing happens on Tuesdays, Wednesdays
and Thursdays so if your purchase comes through on a Wednesday, it may
not be packed until the following Tuesday depending on our packing
schedule.
- We release the palletized shipment to the LTL freight firm and upload tracking information to your order
- Once
the freight has made it to the terminal nearest to your home, the
dispatch team will notify the buyer and schedule a delivery day.
- The
buyer is then required to make the necessary arrangements to receive
and inspect the goods. Some freight firms will offer a delivery window
while others will
require the buyer or a representative for the buyer to be available the
entire day. Please note, drivers are never allowed to call the buyer to
update them on an expected delivery time, though it may be possible for
the buyer to call the terminal and get a rough idea on updated timing
throughout the day.
- On delivery day, the tractor trailer will
arrive at the residence and the truck driver will lower the palletized
shipment to the nearest curb with a lift-gate where the buyer will then
be responsible for bringing it into the home, unpacking and disposing of
the packing materials. If you require a higher level of service (i.e
brought up the driveway and into the garage, brought into the entryway
of the home, etc.) just contact us for a quote.
