Custom Stencils

Trumeau frames, pronounced troo-mo, originated in France during the 18th century. The tradition of these frames dates back to the earliest days of mirrored glass. Back then, the average person did not have access to mirrors. Because mirrored glass was so expensive at that time, the royal people who owned them wanted to show them off. Oftentimes, royal families would have large panels of mirrored glass built directly into the walls of their homes. They were typically all wood with ornate decorative elements.

This particular style frame caught my eye to be unique and have an antique and reverent feel to frame in the stenciling and to use to adorn the Saint Mary and Saint Joseph Statues, as we should always want to mirror the Holy Family and they holy and virtuous lives.
