Vintage Design <\/p>\n
Trumeau was originally just the name for a vertical pillar between two windows or doors in medieval sacred architecture, till trumeaux began being an essential component of magnificent boiseries (wall panelling) and important components of stately interior architecture and decorations from the 17th century onwards.
\nThe flat vertical frames, often richly carved in rococo and baroque style, floral, figural and with garlands and rocailles, form a unit with the panels or the fireplace mantelpiece and often contained a mirror in the upper section and a painting in the lower section.
\nThis makes them part of a larger concept of interior design in which ceilings, walls, floors and furniture are seen as a harmonious whole.
\nTo this day, those pieces bear witness to prestige and wealth in the residences and city palaces of their mostly aristocratic patrons. The most famous examples can be found in the interiors of French castles and palaces such as Versailles.<\/p>\n
This Louis XV style piece probably dates back to the late 19th century and is now available as a large unique open shelf.
\nIt has a flat, tall oak body with bevelled pilaster strips and a multi-profiled, curved, volute-like pediment carved with rocailles and flowers. Two large open frames contain a total of 6 shelves. Between them, a large central rocaille medallion adorns the centre section.<\/p>\n
