I am in the market for a Trumeau....

one is already  hanging on my wall..

    I simply love the 2nd from top trumeau - it is elegant ..beautiful...& Oh so French!! That's a lovely new word "trumeau".

    Every time I see one now, I want to weep.
    I had a very nice Trumeau mirror, the painting was a mother and child and my little girl ( at the time) said the painting was of the two of us.
    Sadly, that mirror that has traveled with us all over for over 30 years, was broken , irreparably in our move to Argentina.
    But I do love them and will keep an eye out for a new/old one here ..
    I especially love the 5th one down .

    They are all so exquisite. I could not possibly decide. I have fallen in love with all of them. Each trumeau is unique and beautiful. They have taken my breath away.
    Exquisite. I look forward to hearing which one you are considering.

    No. THREE
    without a doubt.
    Carved wood? Not stucco?
    Original painting?
    I'll take it!
    ;)

    Hi Colette,
    Thank you for stopping by my blog and your kind words. I'm so glad to have found you as well! I tried to send you an email but I'm afraid the email address I had for you wasn't working. As for the mirror, I'll cast my vote for trumeau #3 - loving the painted finish. ~Susan
